North American XB-70A-1 VALKYRIE USAF High Altitude Strategic Jet Bomber 

The Forerunner of Super Sonic Transportation

Prototype of aircraft that never actually went into production. One design was proposed to have nuclear-powered jet engines, which proved to be technically insurmountable and dangerous. Some aspects of this design, especially the streamlined fuselage and delta wing, were later incorporated in the US design version of the SST, which also never reached production and operational status.
