B-58 HUSTLER

This 4-engined delta wing bomber came into solution with all the United States Strategic Air Force at the start of the 60s and had been, at that time, the peak of technology. The B-58 could achieve supersonic speeds even at complete load and was especially built to carry nuclear weapons to be able to provide an easy response to a Soviet attack, which, back in the Cold War for the 50s, ended up being considered a consistent risk.
