Martin XB-51 Panther

i've visited Middle River many times, XB-51 posters are still occupying walls in the engineering room, interesting design and bomb bay design was truly masterpiece....

Such a stunning looking aircraft, but those low hanging engines are FOD hoovers in the making. It would look so great in the experimental hangar at the USAF Museum alongside the YF-12A, XB-70 and so forth...

The XB-51 honestly had a lot of potential if it had a sturdier airframe and bigger wings.
