It was July 9th, 1961. Soviet air force day.
Spectators were in awe as a completely new supersonic bomber flew over the crowd escorted by 2 MiG-21s. Sleek design powered by 4 engines with the maximum speed of up Mach 2 was a sight to see.
It was the first time the new aircraft was presented to the public, but western military analysts had been debating for years about how the Soviets managed to create the next generation, nuclear-powered ,bomber.
But, the story behind the bureau and new aircraft project was a lot more complex than what was shown on the surface.
This is the story of ambition, ingenuity and politics, but most of all the story of one of the best-looking aircraft ever made.
The Myasishchev M-50 Bounder.

Recall seeing a show on TV where they used this modified bomber to carry large payloads. You were correct, the jet engines during Soviet times were behind their American counterparts. Even the TU-144 did not have the turbojets required for SST flight when it took its 1st flight.

@mikearmstrong8483 2 года назад

Due to Soviet secrecy, there was some confusion in the west about different models. While this plane was long thought to be a record holder, it was later learned that it was the M-4 Bison subsonic bomber that set the payload records attributed to to the M-50.

@@ljubastojanovic608 The 18-cylinder ASh-73? Funny you mention it, it is a twinning of the 9-cylinder M-25, which itself was an American engine in origin - a license build of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone, and while its not a direct copy of the B-29's Duplex-Cyclone, the two engines were highly interchangeable because they had the same "lineage"

@ljubastojanovic608 Год назад

@@niggalini Thank You for details I didnt know about, for me as mech. engineer the sole fact that Soviets had the motor suitable for B29 not having at the same time any pla of the B29 range was surprising. Copying B29 was immense job, comprising new materials, technologies and production tools, at the same time they were spared for motor development, which could be critical. It is also good tho know that Soviests were buying USA or Britain licencies before and even after WW2; eg. famous Moskwich first model in 30s, and Pobeda and Volga 1 cars ain 40s and 50s were all of the USA origin.

@johndemeritt3460 2 года назад

The B-58A, like the F-104 series aircraft, looked like they were going Mach 2 sitting on the ground! I never saw an actual B-58 fly, but I saw plenty of F-104s while I was stationed at Nellis AFB, Nevada from 1976 to 1977. Their performance in the air matched what you'd expect seeing them parked on the ramp!

@tomcline5631 2 года назад

Yeah, I'm too young to have seen them either.(49 years old)but my dad talks about the B -58s flying over Missouri when he was a kid. One of the pilot's was from the middle of Missouri somewhere,and they would route their cross country supersonic flights through/over north western and down through the central portions of Missouri. He said the Sonic books would shake the whole house! When I was a kid in the early eighties, we lived north east of Whitman Air Force Base towards KC MO and we were on the flight path of the B-52s headed up towards the aluminum umbrella airborne holding areas. Used to year/feel flights of B-52s flying over all the time!

@vorlonesque1830 2 года назад

I used to have a 1/48 scale model of a B-58...it was massive and looked amazing. I was a stupid kid and didn't do the best job putting it together and the paint job left a lot to be desired but the thing looked cool. Had it on a shelf above my 1/48 scale SR-71 (which was also massive). I think my brother was baby-sitting the neighbors kids and one of them broke both models and I was really sad about that at the time. I didn't really have space for those things so its probably for the best.

Tupolev denied to put a proposal in competition because he saw no possibility of meeting the airforce requirement. So Myasishchev won the bid alone. And the result was finally as Tupolev had expected. The M50 cannot reach the US coast. Myasishchev was pulled out of his design bureau and became a director of Russia's Aero-hydrodynamic research, TasGi. Years later , Russia succeeded in building R7 rocket that made them the 1st ballistic missile in the world. So the Russian intercontinental bombers were canceled until Tu-160 come later.
