The B-58 Hustler was the first supersonic bomber capable of sustained Mach 2 flight making it a groundbreaking achievement in aviation technology. The XB-58A as a prototype played a pivotal role in testing and validating the complex systems and high-speed performance characteristics that would define the operational B-58 fleet. With its delta-wing design and four-engine configuration the aircraft was a marvel of engineering that pushed the boundaries of speed altitude and innovation.Assigned to the B-58 Test Force tail number 55-661 was heavily involved in testing at Edwards Air Force Base California. It underwent rigorous trials to evaluate the aircraft's handling at supersonic speeds aerodynamic capabilities and overall flight performance. The tests conducted by the XB-58A were crucial in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the production models that would later enter service with the Strategic Air Command (SAC). The B-58 was designed to carry nuclear payloads at high altitudes and speeds which made the flight test phase critical to understanding its operational limits. Although the XB-58A did n.
