"I though that deltas were supposed to be pretty stable with good lift for the wing area. Its pretty much a Concord with engine pods. I'm sure I have seen models of the Concord flying?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gii4mgrtMCk that is a video of al's concord powered by 2 turbines  |

The delta wing has proved to be an incredibly stable platform for bombing. The B-58 was created as a gap filler much the same as the Titan missiles were. The plane was incredibly expensive to operate with very high fuel costs due to its Mach 2 capability. Once the Russians developed SAMS the planes high speed, high altitude safety factor went away forcing it to fly incursions at low level, a task it was not designed to do. It therefore became obsolete.
