I agree....IMHO....the SST definitely "borrowed" some of the design elements of the Valkyrie.

The OP asked what my fav aircraft are and I posted them.

The TU-95 was their strategic bomber, the TU-114 was the commercial passanger variant of the TU-95.

The TU-160 White Swan is their most modern bomber



The latest Russian 4th gen concept fighter is the Suhkoi S-37 Berkut

The XB-70 is one of my favorites as well.

The Dornier DoX-1 is astounding:

I'm sure I'll remember others. Italy had one that was a trip.

I've seen that design during a documentary.....definitely brings new meaning to the term "flying boat".

The Harrier Jump Jet. They even sound cool.

Second place: The Pregnant Guppie. A heavy lifter that was butt ugly but had the greatest name ever.
