North American Aviation, Inc. byl americký letecký výrobce založený v roce 1928 Clementem Keysem. V roce 1967 se sloučil s firmou Rockwell-Standard Corporation čímž vznikla společnost North American Rockwell Corporation. Během zhruba 40 let své existence firma vytvořila mnoho známých modelů jako například: T-6 Texan, P-51 Mustang, B-25 Mitchell, F-86 Sabre nebo také pokusný raketoplán X-15. V roce 1996 byla již sloučená firma i s divizí původní North American Aviation prodána společnosti Boeing.

North American XB-70 above runway ECN-792.jpg
Viewed from the front the #1 XB-70A (62-0001) is shown climbing out during take-off. Most flights were scheduled during the morning hours to take advantage of the cooler ambient air temperatures for improved propulsion efficiencies. The wing tips are extended straight out to provide a maximum lifting wing surface. The XB-70A, capable of flying three times the speed of sound, was the world's largest experimental aircraft in the 1960s. Two XB-70A aircraft were built. Ship #1 was flown by NASA in a high speed flight research program.
