I know some people that worked on XB 70 Valkyrie; only 2 made. They are about to retire. Yes, the Ruskies seems to copy designs but when you look deep into it, is pretty much a different design. Some shapes and forms is the correct way. That is a good example, on why these type of aircrafts look almost identical. Even the Airbus look like a Boeing. Aircrafts still looking like the old Boeing 707; basic shape have not changed in over 50 years. The Russian Buran Space Shuttle looks almost like the US Space Shuttle. The reason why, the shape/form is the correct design for that period technology. At a closer look, was a very different design.
