Hustler (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A hustler is also a "poolshark" — someone who hides his true skill while betting on pool games only to strike when the stakes are at their highest — or in a broader usage someone who engages in a similar strategy when betting on other games. The Hustler, was a 1959 novel by Walter Tevis about a poolhall hustler, which was adapted into a 1961 movie of the same name, starring Paul Newman.

B-58 Hustler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Convair B-58 Hustler was a high-speed jet bomber capable of supersonic flight. A lightly loaded Hustler would climb at nearly 46,000 ft/min (235 m/s), comparable to the best contemporary fighters, and it could cruise with a payload at 85,000 ft (26,000 m) (Higham 1975). The aircraft was developed for the Strategic Air Command during the late 1950s and served between 1960 and 1970. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/B-58_Hustler   (853 words)

Test of the Convair B-58 Hustler All in all, I found Flightsim Developers Convair B-58 Hustler to be a well presented and a most powerful addition to the flight simulation community. Flightsim Developers have really pulled out all the stops with their newest release of the U.S. Air Force Convair B-58 "Hustler". The Hustler stalls at 165 knots (and recovers well) and so a target approach speed of 170 is about ideal. www.flightsim.com /cgi/kds?$=main/FSD/B58-2.HTM   (699 words)

Convair B-58 Hustler - USA The supersonic B-58 Hustler, on the other hand, derived from a new concept developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s--one which took into account the greatly increased capability of ground defenses, including radar tracking and ground-to-air missiles. The Hustler is still a pilot's airplane, yet the extent and sophistication of the computerized and miniaturized control and navigational equipment is incredible, and enormously extends the perceptions and performance of the three human operators. To achieve "design speed" the Hustler has to be driven by the afterburners, and these increase their thrust as the throttles are advanced to MIN A/B, MAX A/B, and OVSP. www.aviation-history.com /convair/b58.html   (4247 words)

The General Dynamics B-58 Hustler The B-58 was also surprisingly maneuverable for an aircraft of its size, and although delta wings are supposed to give a bumpy flight at low altitude, the Hustler was perfectly adept at low-level penetration flights. * The rapid development of American Mach 2 combat aircraft in the 1950s inevitably led to the development of a Mach 2 strategic bomber, the "B-58 Hustler". A Hustler carrying the AN/APS-73 SLAR was sent over Cuba during the Missile Crisis in October 1963, and it appears this is the only time a Hustler ever overflew hostile airspace. www.faqs.org /docs/air/avb58.html   (4315 words)

Service of B-58 Hustler with USAF The delays in the B-58 program had now put the Hustler in direct competition with the B-70 program for funding, and the B-70 was at that time pictured as the next step in the USAF's bomber program. Convair B-58 Hustler: The World's First Supersonic Bomber, Jay Miller, Aerofax, 1997. The name Hustler was officially applied to the aircraft at this time, although it had been used in-house at Convair for years before that. home.att.net /~jbaugher2/b58_4.html   (3797 words)

B-58 — The Hustler Survivors The B-58 Hustler entered service about 1960, and served 10 years. The Hustler did have a number of problems in service, especially a weak nose gear and a few loss of control crashes, and it had its share of opponents. In the end, the ICBM took away their primary mission, and the Hustler could not adapt to low level penetration flight. www.visi.com /~jweeks/b58   (609 words)

schmidt@pacbell.net: Guestbook Here are the remains of a Hustler on Edwards AFB. The Hustler was obviously the coolest aircraft ever put into production (surpassed only by the Valkrye) To bad the maintenance on the plane was one reason it was retired so early.

Hustler House From the beginning of its operational career, the Hustler set a string of performance records that may never be matched by another military bomber. The Hustler was powered by four General Electric J-79 engines, each delivering 15,000 pounds of thrust in afterburner. The Hustler was built by Convair which later became General Dynamics. members.cox.net /dschmidt1   (587 words)

To Acquire Strategic Bombers The new high-altitude bomber, General Putt said in a letter that notified the President of the Convair Division of General Dynamics of the award, would be known as the "B-58." The Air Force, he went on, intended to assign complete weapon system development responsibility to the firm as the prime contractor. Carried to an operational capability, the Hustler could fill a weapons gap in the early 1960s, while providing the Air Force and the airframe contractors with valuable experience in the development and operation of new weapon systems. General LeMay had already secured initial approval from Hq USAF for development of the long-range, high-altitude supersonic B-70 bomber; accordingly, he had excluded the "short-legged" Hustler from any mention in his planning of the SAC force structure. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/aureview/1980/sep-oct/cargill.html   (7591 words)

Convair B-58 Hustler USAF plans to scrap its fleet of 85 Convair B-58 Hustler bombers by the end of the year after stripping them of components which might be used elsewhere. All told, 116 B-58s were produced for the USAF at a unit cost of about $14.5 million. USAF thinks too much time would be required to make the aircraft combat ready in the event of an emergency. 1000aircraftphotos.com /PRPhotos/ConvairB-58.htm   (167 words)

The B-58 Bomber Restricted to a maximum weight of 163,000 pounds because by landing gear limitations, the Hustler had to be refueled in flight to reach maximum gross weight of 177,000 pounds. The crews had to be good, for the Hustler was hot even on the ground--with maximum afterburner for takeoff, it accelerated from zero to 185 knots in less than 30 seconds. By all accounts, the ease in handling a B-58 was unquestionably superior to that of any other contemporary SAC bomber. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/aureview/1981/nov-dec/hall.htm   (4544 words)

AIAA-SF October 2002 Dinner Meeting The Mach 2+ Convair B-58 Hustler, the world's first supersonic bomber, and considered quite advanced when first flown in 1956, made an important contribution to U.S. military aviation history. The elite B-58 aircrews, however, generally liked the high-performance Hustler. Many of the technology innovations commercialized in the B-58 (composite honeycomb sandwich construction, drag reduction via the "area rule" and conical-camber wings, enclosed crew escape capsules, etc.) were applied well to other aircraft programs. www.aiaa-sf.org /dmtg/02-10.html   (576 words)

Arizona Aerospace Foundation The Hustler's major attribute was its speed which enabled it to establish an astounding 19 world speed records by 1963 -- more than any other military aircraft.

History of the Convair B-58 Hustler The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first supersonic bomber to be put into operational service, entering service with the USAF in March of 1960. Although the B-58 was destined never to fire a shot or drop a bomb in anger, it provided a key component of the Strategic Air Command's deterrent capability during the 1960s. Only one example was actually completed, and it was never actually flight tested. www.flightsim.com /cgi/kds?$=main/FSD/B58-3.HTM   (7864 words)

Results in Born out of the Air Force's Generalized Bomber Studies of the late 1940s, the Hustler was Convair's answer to the service's requirement for a supersonic bomber. Universally praised by the crews who flew it, the Hustler wasn't as popular in other quarters. The B-58 served just 10 years in the USAF from 1960 to 1970. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3897/is_199912/ai_n8866679   (380 words)

Academy 1/144 Convair B-58 Hustler The Convair B-58 Hustler is one of those aircraft that can’t help but grab your imagination and run with it. If you were into 1/72 and were quite lucky, you might have been able to get your hands on one of Italeri’s Hustler kits in that scale, I’ve heard they are good kits but very rare these days.

Hobbycraft 1/144 B-58A Hustler Two things I remember as a teenager growing up during those years: the frequency that the state newspaper reported spectacular crashes involving Hustlers and the sonic booms. For most of its career a wing of B-58s was based at Little Rock Air Force Base. To represent the many tonal variations on the fuselage, wings, engine pods, and weapons pod, frisket paper was laid over the areas to be tinted, cut using the engraved panel lines as a guide, and various shades of Testors Metallizer airbrushed on. modelingmadness.com /reviews/viet/nixb58.htm   (1351 words)
