B-58 and Project Townhall v1.0 2014-10-20

  It’s hard to believe that the B-58 Hustler has not previously been tackled for Orbiter.  The B-58 seemed fantastically advanced for its day.  The delta-winged, Mach 2.0 bomber was futuristic-looking, and as fast in speed and time-to-climb as the F-4 Phantom II, which it raced at least once.  
     Project Town Hall was a brief proposal, and study, examining the B-58 Hustler as the launch platform to use a minimum-modified Minuteman ICBM (then starting production) as a small satellite launcher.  Air launch would add the benefits of freedom from launch ranges, choice of inclination and longitude of ascending node, and consequent quick-reaction space launch.  
 
     To use any of the scenarios with Skybolts or Town Hall, you will first need to install Velcr o Rockets (not included).
     To use the Skybolt scenarios, you need the Skybo lt add-on.
     To fly from Edwards AFB, you will need the Proje ct X-15 Edwards and High Range add-on.
