In a tangential coincidence, Convair engineers working on the same B-58 Hustler are responsible for developing the CORDIC algorithms used in the early HP calculator models. Though technically an impressive plane, it was hugely expensive to operate and only remained in service 1960-1970. The engineers that created it probably had no idea the technology they were creating to build a strategic nuclear bomber would have such long-term impacts on computing devices for the mainstream public. --Bob Prosperi |
