The XB-51 is a high-speed bomber ordered for trial production in the US in 1946.
In 1949, one of the test pilots was Chuck Jaeger, "the world's first man to exceed the speed of sound".
Although it was highly evaluated for its low-altitude flight capability, it was decided not to use it in the trial production of two aircraft in 1952 due to the problem of undercarriage and airframe strength.
Although the aircraft was highly evaluated for its low-altitude flight capability, it was decided not to use it in the trial production of two aircraft in 4000 pounds (1814 kg).
The air intake port of the tail engine is placed in front of the vertical tail wing.
There are two crew members and the cockpit is equipped with a bubble canopy, which is like a fighter. The crew members are divided into front and rear, and the one is equipped with eight 20 mm machine guns under the nose (only the trial No. 2 is equipped).
The main landing gear is a tandem type with double wheels on the underside of the fuselage. The auxiliary landing gear is equipped on the wing side.
This aircraft was the first Martin-made aircraft to be equipped with an injection seat.
