1. The development of surface to air missiles meant the B-58 could no longer penetrate enemy defenses at high altitude. Tests of low altitude penetrations showed it would come apart due to the increased loads.
2. A wing of B-58's cost three times to operate what a wing of B-52's cost.
3. The FB-111A came along.
Well, I don't know about that, but I do believe that the USAF crashed them at the Paris Airshow two years in a row.
Well well that's the best demonstration of how something works I have ever come across. Many thanks for the trouble and effort , mystery solved!!!.
This produced considerable amusement in the engineering organizations, since oxygen does not burn.
Fuel burns.
Oxygen does not.
You need fuel and an ignition source in addition to the oxygen - or an oxidizer. Try mixing motor oil with swimming pool chlorine and see what happens.
But the Oxygen does not burn. By itself it does nothing. It cannot start or sustain a fire.
The 4 bomb pylons were not really "wing" pylons - they were "wing-root pylons".The Air Force aimed to have the bombers armed with a single nine-megaton B53 nuclear bomb or four B43 or B61 nuclear bombs on four wing pylons.
