Tthe 마틴 B-57 캔버라 1953 년 미국 공군 (USAF)과 함께 서비스에 들어간 미국 내장 트윈 제트 전술 폭격기 및 정찰기입니다. B-57은 Glenn L. Martin Company에서 제조 한 British English Electric Canberra의 라이센스 제작 버전입니다. 초기 마틴 빌드 모델은 영국이 만든 모델과 매우 유사했습니다. 마틴은 나중에 미국에서 조달 한 대량의 부품을 통합하도록 설계를 수정하고 항공기를 여러 가지 변형으로 생산했습니다.

The Martin B-57 Canberra was a twin-engine jet-powered light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the American company Martin from the British English Electric Canberra. It was the first American jet bomber to drop bombs during combat. The B-57 entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1953 and served until 1983. It also saw service with the Pakistan Air Force and the Republic of China Air Force.
The B-57 was designed to perform high-altitude bombing missions, but it proved to be versatile and adaptable to various roles, such as tactical bombing, interdiction, close air support, night intruder, electronic warfare, photo reconnaissance, and nuclear strike. It participated in several conflicts, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, and the Six-Day War. The B-57 was also used for scientific and meteorological research, as well as for testing new weapons and systems.
The B-57 had a crew of two: a pilot and a navigator/bombardier. It had a wingspan of 64 feet (19.5 m), a length of 65 feet (19.8 m), and a height of 15 feet (4.6 m). It had a maximum speed of 597 mph (960 km/h) at sea level and 570 mph (917 km/h) at 40,000 feet (12,200 m). It had a range of 2,040 miles (3,280 km) with external fuel tanks and a service ceiling of 48,000 feet (14,600 m). It could carry up to 10,000 pounds (4,540 kg) of bombs or rockets in an internal bomb bay and underwing pylons. It was armed with four 0.50-inch (12.7 mm) machine guns in the tail for self-defense.
