This one was a total surprise! I brought a garbage bag in my pocket for the crash that never happened. I never thought something so long would fly so well. Not to mention it only uses twin 40mm fans.

The XB-70 flies similar to the SR-71, slightly more sluggish but that makes it slightly easier to manage. it comes in for a super soft landing also. I was able to easily hand launch it just by holding it by the rear exhaust ports.
