The Convair B-58 was the first supersonic bomber in the world capable to fly to speeds up to mach 2 this aircaft was a marvel of engineering for its time. This is my take on this aircraft. Special thanks to Sakorsky for helping me out with this aircraft

    Hello what should I build next? It doesn’t need to be a real plane just give me a description of an aircraft you want to see. Right now working on nothing

    @Yish42 but I do have to correct you please don’t get mad. The Drop tank sort of thing on the bottom is actually both a nuke and a fuel tank. This version I made has a 2 stage fuel/bomb tank the first stage being a drop tank and the second stage being a nuke. I tried to make the bomb do the 2 stage thing but I couldn’t get the bomb to work.

    The "big nuclear bomb" is actually just a big fuel tank, however I've got to say this is a very fun craft!
