The book "US Supersonic Bomber Projects" by Dr. James C. Walker is a comprehensive overview of the development of supersonic bombers in the United States during the Cold War era. The book focuses on three main projects: the XB-70 Valkyrie, the YB-49, and the B-58 Hustler. These aircraft were designed to deliver nuclear weapons at high speeds and altitudes, but their development was marked by setbacks, failures, and ultimately, cancellation. Despite their failure, the book argues that these projects hold valuable lessons for understanding the evolution of technology and its impact on society. The XB-70 Valkyrie, developed by North American Aviation, was the pinnacle of supersonic bomber design. With six engines and a sleek delta wing, it was capable of reaching Mach 3 speeds and altitudes above 70,000 feet. However, the program was plagued by cost overruns, delays, and the loss of two test pilots, including Captain Joseph Kittinger, who ejected from the aircraft at 102,000 feet.
Книга доктора Джеймса Уокера «Проекты сверхзвуковых бомбардировщиков США» представляет собой всеобъемлющий обзор развития сверхзвуковых бомбардировщиков в Соединенных Штатах в эпоху холодной войны. Книга посвящена трем основным проектам: XB-70 Valkyrie, YB-49 и B-58 Hustler. Эти самолёты предназначались для доставки ядерного оружия на больших скоростях и высотах, но их разработка была отмечена неудачами, неудачами и, в конечном счёте, отменой. Несмотря на их неудачу, в книге утверждается, что эти проекты содержат ценные уроки для понимания эволюции технологий и их влияния на общество. XB-70 Valkyrie, разработанный North American Aviation, стал вершиной конструкции сверхзвукового бомбардировщика. С шестью двигателями и гладким треугольным крылом он был способен достигать скорости 3 Маха и высоты выше 70 000 футов. Однако программа страдала от перерасхода средств, задержек и потери двух лётчиков-испытателей, включая капитана Джозефа Киттингера, катапультировавшегося с самолёта на высоте 102 000 футов.
