- By popular demand I just made (and nearly nuked!) a XB 70 Valkyrie in Kerbal Space Program!
The XB-70 Valkyrie was an experimental supersonic bomber developed by the United States during the Cold War, known for its high speed and advanced design. Although the program was ultimately canceled, the XB-70 represents a symbol of aviation innovation during that era

If you enjoyed this check out my other aircraft recreations! :D -> tinyurl.com/KSPRecreations
(Also thanks so much for 2.5k subs much love to you guys!❤)
specifically flying formation with the valkyrie and the F-104 is cursed; the reason there's only one left today is because the other prototype had a starfighter crash into it during testing
I thought I was the only one to have designed something like this. I sure have a fun time in KSP 😆
I swear it's the best feel when you get something crazy like this working!! lol
@@smooneychad agree😂 theoretically what I made shouldn't have flown at all..but it took off like a bat out of hell,and maneuvered like one as well! Maybe we should be hired for Jet propulsion and Designing😂🤔🙏🏻
@@Terpenesteve Maybe, I mean I'm down for the job! lol
Cool build!
The Valkyrie is not in the past tense. One of the two is still kicking, and can be seen at the National Museum of the USAF in dayton ohio, and let me tell you she is goddam gorgeous. Nothing quite like staring down the barrel of six jet engines each 4ft in diameter.
Also formation flights are a bit cursed no kidding lol that's how one crashed!
Like it.
Cool build!
Glad you liked it, thanks! :D
I just got your video recommended by the almighty algorithm and loved it. Definitely going to binge your other videos now!
Hey! That's awesome glad you enjoyed it!!
Hey, hinges suck but you can use engine plates or other sturdy construction parts to make them tougher.
( i mightve made the mistake of placing whiplash engines on my own, too much weight lol )
Also, the valk looks like a paper airplane when it somehow flies without its fuselage!
I'll have to try using engine plates haven't thought of that!
I'll probably modify this one with whiplashes if I ever use it in TLW (it'll go WAY faster)
And yes it goes for awesome bomber to paper airplane REAL fast lol
@@smooneychad
I think jaguars are fine but they're a little crazy with the gimballing antics, they might look a little out of place when they're on full power dry ( I think? I'll have to see that out for myself since I don't remember very well ) since the entire nozzle closes in a little more than usual.
The whiplash is a little more "immersive" but the larger speed margin is exaggerated, do watch out for their tendency to overheat on longer than average flights.
yeah im nitpicking, sorry 😁
@@spazzey0 The reason I used them was simply because the whiplashes are turbo ramjets like the SR-71 used where as the Valkyrie used "regular" Afterburning turbojets (GE YJ93) the gimbling is a bit off-putting though I should have switched it off
This is all FANTASTIC! Loved the build and all the research! It is also amazingly maneuverable! Congratulations!
What mod is it that you are using for the volumetric clouds? I think I tried once but I couldn't find a good one on CKAN, I heard there is one that I think was available for purchase on a Kickstarter, but I'm not sure about it.
Thanks so much!! The one I'm using is from Patreon for around $5 USD, very much worth it though! It recently got updated, added rain, thunder and a bunch of cool stuff. Here's the link to it on patreon www.patreon.com/blackrack Hope that helps! :D

My grandpa was beat friends with Joe walkers son Joe Walker was the f104 in the crash.
Wow, It truly is a small world!
@@smooneychad Truly is. If you wanted to talk about the crash you would talk to Walker son and my grandpa.
Do you happen to have north kerbin renewed? Cause that may be why the b83 nuke didn’t work?
Pretty sure I do, so that's probably the issue?
Im pretty sure the genies just auto-detonate at a certain distance if they dont have a target
Oops, In hindsight I should have put something to target at the base thing. I guess Jeb is a little irradiated now lol
@@smooneychad they are air to air anyways
U didnt use the saturn engine which is also bda and is so much better
what version of ksp are you on?
I'm on 1.12.3 currently :)
do u know any working addons for 1.12.5 that add nuclear bombs? @@smooneychad
Bath salt hobo concorde xD
So was this based off of the first or second B70? From my vague understanding of the two planes, the second was much more advanced and better in almost every was due to modifications based off faults with #1, so thus were left with the worse of the two :p
It's supposed to be the second (AV-2 the one that crashed) since i intended it to be closer to an actual production model (for use in TLW series), but since the last one standing is AV-1 most of the photo references, measurements, and so on that I had were from AV-1 so any differences between the 2 prototypes are probably mixed in this one. So I guess we'll call it AV-1.5 lol
I wish Xbox had mods
Stay strong on console! I'll be doing some stock tutorials very soon that might be helpful : )
@@smooneychad 🥰🥰🥰
Sorry it too so long but I MADE THE TUTORIAL!! :D th-cam.com/video/0OWHzH-FFnQ/w-d-xo.html
sad wasnt first
Im sorry, but the XB-70 and F-104s have historically not worked well together
Ironically enough both the F-104s crashed after that clip... Yeah probably should have went with a different chase plane
The last XB-70A flight had an F-104 flying chase.

hi kermit
You.
@@JetJeb5648 hey bro
No fucking way, what mods were used, I need to kill all my kerbals.
Here's a short list of the most important ones :)
BDA Plus, Airplanes Plus, OPT, B9 PWings, Procedural Parts, Tweakscale, North Kerbin Dynamics (Renewed), SMI Missiles and Launchers, BDA extended, TURD
I hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions about them (or if I missed one lol)
@@smooneychad thx u :>)
