first operational <a href="/wiki/Bomber" title="Bomber">bomber</a> capable of <a href="/wiki/Mach_number" title="Mach number">Mach 2</a> flight.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> The B-58 was developed during the 1950s for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">United States Air Force</a> (USAF) <a href="/wiki/Strategic_Air_Command" title="Strategic Air Command">Strategic Air Command</a> (SAC). To achieve the high speeds desired, Convair chose a <a href="/wiki/Delta_wing" title="Delta wing">delta wing</a> design used by contemporary interceptors such as the <a href="/wiki/Convair_F-102_Delta_Dagger" title="Convair F-102 Delta Dagger">Convair F-102</a>. The bomber was powered by four <a href="/wiki/General_Electric_J79" title="General Electric J79">General Electric J79</a> engines in underwing pods. It had no bomb bay; it carried a single <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_weapon" title="Nuclear weapon">nuclear weapon</a> plus fuel in a combination bomb/fuel pod underneath the fuselage. Later, four external <a href="/wiki/Hardpoint" title="Hardpoint">hardpoints</a> were added, enabling it to carry up to five weapons. The B-58 entered service in March 1960, and flew for a decade with two SAC bomb wings: the <a href="/wiki/43rd_Bombardment_Wing" class="mw-redirect" title="43rd Bombardment Wing">43rd Bombardment Wing</a> and the <a href="/wiki/305th_Air_Mobility_Wing" title="305th Air Mobility Wing">305th Bombardment Wing</a>.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> It was considered difficult to fly, imposing a high workload upon its three-man crews.

It was never used to deliver conventional bombs. The B-58 was substantially more expensive to operate than other bombers, such as the <a href="/wiki/Boeing_B-52_Stratofortress" title="Boeing B-52 Stratofortress">Boeing B-52 Stratofortress</a>, and required more frequent <a href="/wiki/Aerial_refueling" title="Aerial refueling">aerial refueling</a>. The B-58 also suffered from a high rate of accidental losses. These factors resulted in a relatively brief operational career of ten years. The B-58 was succeeded in its role by the smaller, swing-wing <a href="/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-111_Aardvark#FB-111A_/_F-111G" title="General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark">FB-111A</a>.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Development">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origins">Origins</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Origins">edit</a>]</div> The genesis of the B-58 was the Generalized Bomber Study (GEBO II) issued in February 1949 by the <a href="/wiki/Air_Research_and_Development_Command" class="mw-redirect" title="Air Research and Development Command">Air Research and Development Command</a> (ARDC) at <a href="/wiki/Wright-Patterson_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wright-Patterson AFB">Wright-Patterson AFB</a>, Ohio, for the development of a supersonic, long-range, manned bomber aircraft. ARDC sought the best attainable quantitative data, challenging the industry to devise their own solutions to attain the stated goal.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_173-5">[5]</a> Work on the proposed bomber's design was to begin less than two years after sustained supersonic flight had been achieved.<a href="#cite_note-Miller-6">[6]</a> According to aviation authors <a href="/wiki/Bill_Gunston" title="Bill Gunston">Bill Gunston</a> and Peter Gilchrist, while some military officials were keenly interested in the prospective use of supersonic bombers, others held doubts about the propulsion systems and <a href="/wiki/Materials_science" title="Materials science">materials science</a> required for supersonic operations, as well as the much higher fuel consumption relative to subsonic counterparts.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_172-7">[7]</a> Despite the skepticism, multiple contractors submitted bids for GEBO II, which was viewed as an influential step towards a development contract.

It also provided low wing loading for the airframe size, permitting supersonic flight in the midstratosphere at 50,000 to 70,000 ft (15,000 to 21,000 m).<a href="#cite_note-Miller-6">[6]</a> Most of the configurations studied mated the delta wing to a relatively slender fuselage housing a crew of two and powered by a pair of jet engines.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_173-5">[5]</a> The Convair proposal, coded FZP-110, was a radical, two-place, delta-wing bomber powered by three <a href="/w/index.php?title=General_Electric_J53&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="General Electric J53 (page does not exist)">General Electric J53</a> <a href="/wiki/Turbojet" title="Turbojet">turbojet</a> engines. The performance estimates included a 1,000 mph (1,600 km/h) speed and a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) range.<a href="#cite_note-Miller-6">[6]</a> A key feature of the design was to store consumables, both weaponry and most of the fuel, within a large external pod, which enabled a smaller fuselage. In January 1951, Convair submitted the FZP-110 proposal, which was received later than other competing bids.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_173-5">[5]</a> During December 1951, a revised FZP-016 proposal was submitted, which deleted the third engine on the tail, increased the remaining two engines' thrust, and added a third crew member to operate defensive systems.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_173-5">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Selection">Selection</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Selection">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg/220px-Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="172" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg/330px-Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg/440px-Convair_B-58_Ejection_Capsule_3-4_front_view_061101-F-1234P-012.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1409" /></a><figcaption>Ejection pod undergoing testing</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_(SN_58-1011)_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_%28SN_58-1011%29_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg/220px-Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_%28SN_58-1011%29_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="131" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_%28SN_58-1011%29_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg/330px-Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_%28SN_58-1011%29_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_%28SN_58-1011%29_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg/440px-Convair_RB-58A_Hustler_3-4_front_view_%28SN_58-1011%29_061101-F-1234P-016.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1072" /></a><figcaption>RB-58A with two component pod (TCP)</figcaption></figure> The USAF chose Boeing's MX-1712 and Convair MX-1626 design studies to proceed to a phase 1 study. During this period, Convair took advantage of recent developments by General Electric and replaced the two large J53 engines with four smaller <a href="/wiki/General_Electric_J79" title="General Electric J79">J79s</a> optimized for supersonic flight.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1734-8">[8]</a> The recently formulated <a href="/wiki/Area_rule" title="Area rule">area rule</a> was also applied to the design, resulting in aerodynamic reprofiling and an even more slender fuselage. Having been refined, Convair redesignated their renewed submission MX-1964.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_174-9">[9]</a> In August 1952, Convair's design was judged superior.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> According to Gunston and Gilchrist, Boeing's submission was viewed as equally good, but their separate contract to produce the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress had undoubtedly influenced this competition.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_174-9">[9]</a> In December 1952, Convair was chosen to meet the new SAB-51 (Supersonic Aircraft Bomber) and SAR-51 (Supersonic Aircraft Reconnaissance) standards, the first general operational requirements for supersonic bombers. In February 1953, the USAF issued a contract for Convair's design, designated B-58 on 10 December 1952.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-bomber_175-12">[12]</a> The B-58 program, unlike those for prior military aircraft, was the first weapon-system contract.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1745-13">[13]</a> Under this arrangement, Convair acted as the prime contractor responsible for all program elements, not just the aircraft. Convair was required to devise or <a href="/wiki/Subcontractor" title="Subcontractor">subcontract</a> everything associated with the aircraft's operation, from the engines to training manuals, spare components, and software, in excess of one million items.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1745-13">[13]</a> Early on, the contract was modified to build a pair of XB-58 prototypes, 11 YB-58A preproduction aircraft, and 31 mission pods including a free-fall bomb pod, a <a href="/wiki/Rocket" title="Rocket">rocket</a>-propelled controllable bomb pod, a <a href="/wiki/Aerial_reconnaissance" title="Aerial reconnaissance">reconnaissance</a> pod, and an <a href="/wiki/Electronic_warfare#Electronic_warfare_support" title="Electronic warfare">electronic reconnaissance</a> pod.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1745-13">[13]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Into_flight">Into flight</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Into flight">edit</a>]</div> The first prototype, serial number 55-660, was rolled out on 31 August 1956.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> The program was performed under high security; prior to the roll out, no unauthorized individual had knowledge of its shape or basic configuration.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_177-15">[15]</a> On 11 November 1956, the <a href="/wiki/Maiden_flight" title="Maiden flight">maiden flight</a> occurred.

Most of the trial aircraft were later upgraded to operational standards. Eight were equipped as TB-58A training aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_178-18">[18]</a> Convair sought further development of the B-58, proposing variants and derivatives for both military and civilian applications.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_178-18">[18]</a> Most never went beyond the drawing board, having been ordered prior to the decision to terminate multiple contracts. The B-58B, B-58C, B-58D, and B-58E variants were all terminated prior to completion of any production aircraft. During the late 1960s, some refinements to the existing fleet were developed and introduced, such as slender bomb racks (known as "multiple weapons capability") and additional pods.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_178-18">[18]</a> The final B-58 was delivered in October 1962.<a href="#cite_note-Miller_p._54-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-ushjbpr-19">[19]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Design">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Overview">Overview</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Overview">edit</a>]</div> The Convair B-58 Hustler was a high-speed strategic bomber, capable of routinely attaining Mach 2 at altitude. It incorporated a large delta wing with a leading-edge sweep of 60°, and was powered by an arrangement of four General Electric J79-GE-1 turbojet engines. Although its sizable wing generated relatively low <a href="/wiki/Wing_loading" title="Wing loading">wing loading</a>, it proved to be surprisingly well suited for low-altitude, high-speed flight. To protect against the heat generated while cruising at Mach 2, the crew compartment, wheel wells, and electronics bay were pressurized and air conditioned. The B-58 was one of the first extensive applications of <a href="/wiki/Aluminum" class="mw-redirect" title="Aluminum">aluminum</a> <a href="/wiki/Honeycomb_structure" title="Honeycomb structure">honeycomb panels</a>, which bonded outer and inner aluminum skins to a honeycomb of aluminum or <a href="/wiki/Fiberglass" title="Fiberglass">fiberglass</a>.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> Various features of the B-58 were considered to be record-breaking, according to Gunston and Gilchrist.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1756-21">[21]</a> The structure itself made up 13.8% of the aircraft's gross weight, an exceptionally low figure for the era, while the wing was considered to be extremely thin, as well. Several key features of the engine, including the nacelle and the inlet, were unlike any existing aircraft, having been devised from guidance by aerodynamicists.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1756-21">[21]</a> Specifically, the inlets used moving conical spikes, being fully aft on the ground and at low speeds to maximize air intake, then driven forward while being flown at high speeds to minimize the annular gap. This movement was automatically controlled, but significant noise and asymmetric thrust were generated in the event of a single inlet malfunctioning.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_176-22">[22]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Crew_provisions">Crew provisions</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Crew provisions">edit</a>]</div> The B-58 was operated by a crew of three - pilot (the aircraft commander or "AC"), radar navigator/bombardier ("Nav"), and defense systems operator ("DSO").<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> They were seated in separated tandem cockpits.

This was caused by the 60° leading-edge sweepback of its wing and was inherent in these types of delta-wing platforms. It required a much higher <a href="/wiki/Angle_of_attack" title="Angle of attack">angle of attack</a> than a conventional aircraft, up to 9.4° at Mach 0.5 at low altitudes. If the angle of attack was too high, in excess of 17°, the bomber could <a href="/wiki/Aircraft_principal_axes" title="Aircraft principal axes">pitch up</a> and enter a <a href="/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)" title="Spin (aerodynamics)">spin</a>.

The B-58 also possessed unconventional <a href="/wiki/Stall_(fluid_mechanics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stall (fluid mechanics)">stall</a> characteristics; if the nose was elevated, the bomber maintained forward motion without pitching down. Unless large amounts of power were applied, the descent rate increased rapidly.<a href="#cite_note-airpower.maxwell.af.mil-31">[31]</a> Another problem pilots faced was called "fuel stacking", taking place whenever the B-58 accelerated or decelerated. It was caused by fuel movement within the tanks, which led to sudden changes in the aircraft's center of gravity. This could cause the B-58 to abruptly pitch or bank, potentially resulting in a loss of control.<a href="#cite_note-2012,_p._238-32">[32]</a> The aircraft had unusual takeoff requirements, with a 14° angle of attack needed for the <a href="/wiki/Rotation_(aeronautics)" title="Rotation (aeronautics)">rotation</a> near 203.5 knots (376.9 km/h; 234.2 mph) for a 150,000-pound (68,000 kg) combat weight.<a href="#cite_note-pilot_manual-33">[33]</a> This poor takeoff performance was evident with the high landing speed, necessitating a <a href="/wiki/Drogue_parachute" title="Drogue parachute">drogue parachute</a> for braking, which was also required for B-47 and B-52 aircraft.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] To accommodate the high landing speed, the specially configured <a href="/wiki/Landing_gear" title="Landing gear">landing gear</a> had to handle excessive conditions; both the inflation pressure and wheel <a href="/wiki/Rpm" class="mw-redirect" title="Rpm">rotation speed</a> were far greater than prior units to cope.<a href="#cite_note-bomber_1756-21">[21]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Weapons_systems">Weapons systems</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair_B-58_Hustler&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Weapons systems">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/Sperry_Corporation" title="Sperry Corporation">Sperry</a> AN/ASQ-42 bombing/navigation system combined a sophisticated <a href="/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system" title="Inertial navigation system">inertial navigation system</a> with the KS-39 <a href="/wiki/Star_tracker" title="Star tracker">star tracker</a> (<a href="/wiki/Astro-inertial_navigation_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Astro-inertial navigation system">astro-inertial navigation system</a>) to provide a heading reference, the AN/APN-113 <a href="/wiki/Doppler_radar" title="Doppler radar">Doppler radar</a> to provide <a href="/wiki/Ground_speed" title="Ground speed">ground speed</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windspeed" class="mw-redirect" title="Windspeed">windspeed</a> data, a <a href="/wiki/Search_radar" class="mw-redirect" title="Search radar">search radar</a> to provide range data for bomb release and trajectory, and a <a href="/wiki/Radar_altimeter" title="Radar altimeter">radar altimeter</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Miller_p._105-34">[34]</a> The AN/ASQ-42 was estimated to be 10 times more accurate than any previous bombing/navigation system.<a href="#cite_note-Miller_p._105-34">[34]</a> Defensive armament consisted of a single 20 mm (0.79 in) <a href="/wiki/M61_Vulcan" title="M61 Vulcan">T-171E-3</a> rotary cannon with 1,200 rounds of ammunition in a radar-aimed tail barbette.<a href="#cite_note-Miller_p._105-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> It was remotely controlled through the Emerson MD-7 automated radar <a href="/wiki/Fire-control_system" title="Fire-control system">fire-control system</a>, only requiring the DSO to lock on a selected target blip on his scope and then fire the gun.
