Vulcan!

Man that's a sweet bird! Can't help but think of Thunderball, though, where SPECTRE steals one to get the nukes off it. . .
 
I'm not an aero enginerd or anything, but why have a delta wing if it is subsonic? I thought the delta wing was best for supersonic flight, (i.e. concord, space shuttle, b-1...)
 
Not really a delta wing....more of a total flying wing ala YB-49, B-2.....

delta wing= B-58, Mirage series, F-102/106
 
I saw one at an air show at Carswell AFB back in the mid-80s. Incredibly manueverable for an aircraft its size...it put on a better show than the T-birds or Blues (can't remember which team was there that year).
 
Of the V bombers, I always thought the Victor was the sexiest. good post though.
 
I guess the same reason that the Prowler has the gold canopy..... neither the whith flash suppression paint or gold do shit.
 
Most beautiful bomber ever built. Can you believe the same nation built the Lightning - possibly the ugliest jet fighter ever built.
