This is an animation of the nose landing gear for the XB-70 Valkyrie. As far as I can tell everything is correct on it with the exception of the actual cycling time. There is very little documentation on how the landing gear doors articulate on the plane so I did my best guess. If you know any place where my animation is wrong, please advise.
About the animation:
Modeled and rendered in Lightwave 3D on a Mac. Rendering time was 9 hours with radiosity turned on.
For an animation of the main landing gear, please see:

I plan on re-animating the main gear to incorporating some changes that need to be made and to give it a more-realistic rendering such as the one above: complete with landing gear doors and the engine bay area.
