Nope. The problem was aeroelastic effects, although just about everything about the design was pants-on-head retarded and guaranteed to make it a clusterfuck had it ever got into production
>swing wings
>high-lift devices so complicated they made the F-14 and A-5 look simple
>a double-jointed nose
>main gear drops down in front of inboard engines, so auxiliary top-mounted intakes need to be implemented
>2 to 3 times the passenger load of the Concorde
>Almost Mach 3 performance

And the most fucky thing is that Boeing dropped the swing wing design a couple years in once it proved unworkable and acted like Lockheed was being unreasonable calling for a re-evaluation of the contract once Boeing started work on the 2707-300.

The aeroelasticity issues on the 2707-100 were far more complicated than those experienced by the XB-70. The 2707-100's long fuselage was the biggest problem, but the wings also had issues from what I've read.

The 2707-300 (pic related) was the closest thing they had to a practical design, and it's what they ended up going with until the contract was cancelled. Boeing even carried it on over to the HSCT program in the '90s. But the HSCT program found that, even if the 2707-300 design was realistic, it wasn't economically feasible.

Ok, and?

>>34808238
AFAIK it would have had a smaller radar signature because of all the wood in the structure but that was completely unintentional.
And I'm not entirely sure if it was a big enough difference to consider it stealth.

Something with spanwise flow and high-alpha behavior, probably.

Fences and dogtooth notches prevent spanwise flow (air flowing from root to tip instead of straight back) and improve the lift distribution over the wing, and the dogtooth can create favorable vorticies to improve the performance of the wing at higher angles of attack.

As for why they did both, it was probably

Not only is this the most aesthetic plane it is easily the most badass. How fucking insane is it that they had it to purposely design it to leak fuel when it's sitting on the deck so that when the metal expands everything fits perfectly. It's one of those things that sounds retarded on the surface but turns out to be fucking awesome.

Somebody post that really long copypasta with the speed checks. That's always a good read. Nothing like a jet that can outrun any missile you fire at it.
