North American XB-70A Valkyrie

The sleek Valkyrie took advantage of "compression lift," where the shock wave generated by the airframe at supersonic speed supports part of the airplane's weight. The XB-70A could also droop its wingtips as much as 65 degrees for additional stability at high speeds. (U.S. Air Force photo)
