The Convair B-58 Hustler was a revolutionary aircraft, known for being the first operational jet bomber capable of reaching Mach 2 speeds. Designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force, the B-58 featured a delta wing and four General Electric J79 engines in underwing pods. It was designed to carry five nuclear weapons, with four mounted on pylons under the wings and one in a combination bomb/fuel pod under the fuselage. Intended for high altitude and supersonic flight to avoid Soviet fighters, the B-58 was a key component of the United States' Strategic Air Command during the 1960s. Its sonic boom was often heard by the public as it flew overhead at supersonic speeds. Our wooden model perfectly captures the sleek and powerful design of this iconic aircraft.
