Revived the name, last used on the XB70 Valkyrie. One of the two crashed in the early 60s. The other is at Wright Patterson AFB museum. I saw it in 1970, massive aircraft and similar to the later developed Concorde commercial plane.

Kratos has a facility right down the street from where I sit.

They do a lot of unmanned vehicle and drone projects--military and commercial.
