Atterrissage périlleux XB-70 Valkyrie

Cet avion bombardier supersonique américain, capable de voler a mach 3 fut construit en 2 exemplaires. le premier vol eut lieu le 21 septembre 1964, le retrait de l'avion le 4 fevrier 1969, après abandon du développement de l'appareil.
Le programme fut abandonné car le XB-70 était devenu obsolète par l'émergence du système de défense russe sol-air S-75 Dina avec des missiles capables d'anéantir des avions volant a mac 3 . Le XB-70 ne sera donc jamais opérationnel pour l'armée américaine.

[@hughezzell10000]

I think the blown front tire happened on takeoff and they were holding the nose in the air for as long as possible on landing, slowing the aircraft with the brakes as much as possible before setting the nose down.

[@steveb7310]

I think you’re right.

[@OpinionFactChecker]

The stall angle was to slow the aircraft.

[@BrianWMay]

Aerodynamic braking.

[@N1originalgazza]

Incredible how modern were airplanes built 60 years ago! The XB-70 looks like it came out of a manga cartoon😯

[@rtwas]

I've heard/read somewhere that aerodynamics technology really has'nt changed much since the 60s/70s. The F16 and the F15 are a good example of this.

[@N1originalgazza]

@@rtwas In 5 gen fighters (and future ones) stealth technology change it thanks to computers that manage stealth "wrong" aerodynamics instability......concerning to "pure" aerodynamic you are right:it hasn't changed much.

One of the coolest looking aircraft ever built.

[@theussmirage]

One of the loudest too, from the sound of it

[@MarsFKA]

I read that it looked really cool on a radar screen, too. With the returns from the leading edges, the air intakes and engine compressors, the screen lit up like a Macys window on Xmas Eve.

As a kid, I used to go to the Air Force Museum in Fairborn, Ohio on Wright Patterson Air Force Base. They had one of these, they only made two, parked out front for years. 15 years ago, or so, they pulled it over to a maintenance hangar, and rebuilt it. Now, it is the prize display in their new "Experimental" Aircraft Hangar. If you've never been, it is well worth the visit, and free. It would take a couple days to go through and see everything. It has one of the first IMAX theaters, too.

[@richardgollerjr8180]

I used to love that museum! My family would travel from Cleveland to Cincinnati to visit my Mom's sister every summer and would visit the museum during the trip back in the 1960's. After earning my Private Pilot License in 1969 I took the High Altitude course at Wright Patterson AFB. When the Stewardess briefs the use of oxygen when the mask pops out of the overhead, you immediate response is to secure your own mask before tending to your spouse or children. Hypoxia can make you useless in approx 15-30 seconds.

[@andie_pants]

@@richardgollerjr8180 Awesome! I can assure you the collection keeps growing and the museum keeps getting more interesting. :-) I live just a few miles from it, and whenever a new aircraft arrives, it flies over my neighborhood to land at Wright Field.

[@Scatpack21]

We had a B-52 do this at Castle AFB in November of 1983. Anti-lock failed, tires blew, and it threw chunks of burning magnesium wheels up into the wing tanks. Fortunately, the crew got out and clear before it blew. Still had 50,000 pounds of JP4 on board. Heck of a fireball and it was heard 30 miles away.

[@LTCDRRAZOR]

As an airframer, all I can say watching this, is it looks like they kept the brakes locked as hard as they could go, causing them to over heat as well as the tires blow, triggering fires.

[@N1originalgazza]

Look for the short video "When a paperclip saved an XB-79 bomber worth 750 million" there is the explanation why the airplane had that landing.

[@LTCDRRAZOR]

@@N1originalgazza thank you, now I know. Though looks like this old airframer was right from the footage, the wheels were locked. It feels kind of good to still be able to remember that kind of stuff, even 20 years later.

[@N1originalgazza]

@@LTCDRRAZOR No problem, it was my pleasure......anyway, congratulations, you've identified the problem

[@tryscience]

Yes, you can even see the front tires ruptured as well. But what an impressive bird

[@bruceburkett7670]

The background looks as if this is Edwards AFB which would or could indicate a test flight. They were either testing systems or knew they were going to roll off the end of the runway but did you notice the nose gear exploded the instant they touched down which is why I’m going with intentional.

[@jerrywatt6813]

Like they taught us in school most landing accidents = tires weels and brakes and there she goes !😊

[@toadelevator]

And you could see one of the front tires ready to depart the aircraft too. Very lucky they didn't have a worse day.

[@basketballspinner]

[@MarsFKA]

I saw this on the TV news the day after it happened. The report was that it landed with the brakes locked on.

[@christoohunders5316]

thanks for this explanation

[@sfm5s]

Big beautiful bird however it was full of problems. Saw the unit at wright Patterson and it is one massive plane.

[@warped-sliderule]

Photo tracking forebears (older brothers) did a great job catching the first landing and smoothly keeping the "interesting" stuff in the frame as the plane zipped by at ~180 knots. Not easy with all the excitement of that sexy bomber filling the lens... Thanks for posting!!!

[@erichnienkeschaal6316]

The sound of the engines doesnt add up. Cutting the sound early and no doppler effect raises red flags for me, im pretty sure the sound is lifted from a completely different recording.

[@richardgollerjr8180]

I agree😊

[@bj-th7ul]

I, as well, had to do a double take watching Trackhawks take-off & land (very impressive), but after several different scenes began to recognize they were operating outside the normal envelope & it became more obvious what was happening... actually seemed immediately obvious here - for me. thanks for sharing

[@airmike1271]

Those engines in the background sound like F-15 taxing around.

[@phant0m233]

The observer is VERY far away, so the sound will take some time to get to them. Understand, too, that the actual sound is WAY louder than what you're getting in the video. Try standing 200 feet away and see how quickly you blow your eardrums out!

[@garyausten5939]

[@goksel4260]

I don't think it would have been such a problem if the team that designed the SR71 had built this plane. The SR 71 was at least as complicated as this aircraft, but it never caused an accident in its lifetime

The engine pods create a shock wave under the wing that improves efficiency.

And the outer wings folded down so that it "surfed" on its shockwave.

Looks very different to me. Both planes have canards, closely mounted engines and ventral intakes, but there are a lot more differences: number and placement of vertical tail, drooping nose on T-4, no pivoting wing tips, shape of the wings, and the inclusion of a tail cone on T-4 that XB-70A doesn't have.
