I'm not sure on the reverse thrusters, but I do know that at no-nodes there is the XB-70 manual, its in 5 parts and should have all the answers and illustrations you want.

Ozzy ;)

I think the manual at no-nodes is the genuine pilots manual...

I can remember quite distinctly from when I stood on my tip toes, that there were only afterburner nozzles on the J-93's which I touched.......I have no recollection of any reverser buckets/assembly.......I know they used a  braking chute to help bleed off speed during rollout..........

I went there this summer, it's only a few hours from my house. 8) 8) 8) 8) it was awesome.  They've got three hangars now, and they're building a fourth, plus the presidential hangar and the Research and development hangar.....and it's free to boot.
