I remember also an article on the XB-70 telling readers, amongst other things, that it took the Valkyrie 30 minutes to turn 180 deg. at Mach 3.

If you wish, standby by for the radius of turn formula.

Google the stuff on the side of the ship, and bear in mind you are looking at an aircraft.

Did all that, found the photo, and found reference to the Plymouth and Mr Flettner's rotor wing!

Under the circumstances I think you and Mel should toss for it then - I can't do much else.
If you both decide in Mels' favour, then yes Mel - I can do one for you.
