Over 60 years after its maiden flight, the B-58 has not lost any of its elegance. The main goal was to develop a strategic bomber that could reach twice the speed of sound. The result was a sleek delta-winged aircraft with a “wasp waist” or “coke bottle” fuselage. The main weapons load, a strategic bomb was combined into a fuel tank pod. In addition, four tactical nuclear bombs could be carried on the fuselage sides.
