The B-58 Hustler is a Strategic Bomber and one of the variants of B-58 manufactured by Convair and its primary user is the United States Air Force. It is a three-seat medium-range strategic bomber aircraft, 86 built.

The B-58 had a much smaller weapons load and more limited range than the B-52 Stratofortress. It had been extremely expensive to acquire (in 1959 it was reported that each of the production B-58As was worth more than its weight in gold). It was a complex aircraft that required considerable maintenance, much of which required specialized equipment, which made it three times as expensive to operate as the B-52. Also against it was an unfavorably high accident rate: 26 aircraft were lost in accidents, 22.4% of total production. An engine loss at supersonic cruise was very difficult to safely recover from due to differential thrust. SAC had been dubious about the type from the beginning, although its crews eventually became enthusiastic about the aircraft (its performance and design were appreciated, although it was never easy to fly).
