You have to watch some documentaries on the 70. The plane would be considered amazing even by today's standards.


It harnessed the shockwave between the wings (folded down) and used the energy (compression lift) to cruise long distances at Mach 3+.


Insane performance, but ultimately shut down due to SAM's.

The Valkyrie looks very Russian with that arcing fuselage and nose, very SU-35ish... gotta admit I kinda like that look, kinda like a huge wasp, Russia has some good looking fighters

I wonder what aerodynamic/performance characteristics it actually provides

I agree 100%. The Su-27/35 airframe is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
