For your AI flying pleasure, the MBAI North American XB-70 Valkyrie by Menno van den Boogaard.
"The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie was the prototype of the B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration strategic bomber for the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command.
North American Aviation designed the Valkyrie as a large, six-engine aircraft capable of reaching Mach 3+ while flying at 70,000 feet,
these speed and altitude capabilities would allow the evasion of interceptor aircraft, the only effective weapon against bomber aircraft at the time.
Two prototype aircraft were built, and these aircraft were used for supersonic test-flights during 1964–69.
In 1966, one prototype crashed after colliding in mid-air with a smaller jet aircraft, the remaining Valkyrie bomber is in the National Museum of the United States Air Force."
