This close-up photo of an XB-70A was taken from a chase plane. The XB-70 had a movable windshield and ramp that were raised during supersonic flight to reduce drag. When the pilot was ready to land, he lowered the assembly to give both him and his copilot a clear view of the runway.1965NASA Photo› XB-70 Project Description
