The XB-70A, built by North American Aviation's Los Angeles Division for the U.S. Air Force, was an experimental high-speed delta-wing aircraft designed to fly at three times the speed of sound and at altitudes in excess of 70,000 feet. Among its design features were a movable canard, the "compression lift" aerodynamic design principle, in-flight accessibility to electronics equipment, a shirt-sleeve environment for the crew, and encapsulated seats for crew ejection at speeds up to Mach 3 and at altitudes to above 70,000 feet. Model stand included.
