Notes: Yeah, I know, nobody reads these craft designs anymore,
but I always loved the Valkyrie. I keep a model of the B-70 on my
desk top. In view she is the essence of what a Traveller star ship
should look like. She's definitely the most beautiful aircraft
ever built: the sexiest thing that ever took to the skies. Twin
tails all white and clean and shining in the sun. The drooping
shapely tips of her white wings that press the turgid air to her
heavenly breasts pushing her harder, harder, higher, higher up into
the heady clouds with compression lift at mach three. A powerful
pack of six YJ93-GE-3 jet turbines thrusting the beautiful,
slender, narrow waisted hull along, penetrating the tenuous air of
the stratosphere, all sipping the 300,000 pounds of JP-6 ambrosia
who's raw power pulls the wonderful white virgin to heights
undreamed of.
