Description


OK, this never happened. F-108 Rapier and B-70 en route to.... who knows... The North American XF-108 Rapier was a proposed long-range, high-speed interceptor aircraft designed by North American Aviation intended to defend the United States from supersonic Soviet strategic bombers. The aircraft would have cruised at speeds around Mach 3. To limit development costs, the program shared engine development and the salvage system with the North American XB-70 Valkyrie strategic bomber program, and used a number of elements of earlier interceptor projects. The program had progressed only as far as the construction of a single wooden mockup when it was canceled in 1959, due to a shortage of funds and the Soviets' adoption of ballistic missiles as their primary means of nuclear attack. Had it flown, the F-108 would have been the heaviest fighter of its era.

Nice pairing. When I worked in Columbus, Ohio in the 70's, my supervisor and the night foreman had worked at North American there and I heard about the XB-70 all the time.
