It was designed as a Mach 3 intercontinental bomber, but it never made it to production because ICBMs made such deep-penetration bombing missions against Russian air defenses obsolete and less reliable than a missile with MIRV warheads.

This sucker was conceived in the 1950s and flew in the 1960s. Check out the engineering that went into the aircraft, especially the way the landing gear retracts and the outer wing sections angle down in flight (this creates "compression lift" at supersonic speeds).

Amazing stuff.
What really gets me is that they were able to design something capable of mach 3 using just draft paper and slide rules!

I have massive, massive respect for engineers that worked in the 50s and 60s.

This is a whole crowd of people in Japan all playing jokes on bystanders. Only the first guy, an old man, makes it out with his dignity intact.

You gotta love it when people push political incorrectness in humor to its limit. Hilarious!


On a side note, we all hate telemarketers, don't we?
