Description
If you're a fan of aviation history, you'll want a Profile of Convair's XB-58 "Hustler" for your collection, office, or aviation man cave.
In 1950 Consolidated Vultee (Convair), a division of General Dynamics, was contracted to develop a supersonic bomber that could reach targets 3,000 to 4,000 miles away. Most of us recall that Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier just three years before that. Convair was awarded a Phase-1 development contract in 1952 with a delta-winged, four-engine design designated B-58. The first B-58 to fly was the one featured in my detailed aircraft profile here. 55-0660, piloted by Convair's Chief Test Pilot B. A. Erikson, was the first B-58 to fly on 11-November-1956.
