The Convair B36 "Peacemaker" was a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated solely by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B36 was the largest massproduced piston engine aircraft ever made. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 87,200 lb (39,600 kg), the B36 was the world's first manned bomber capable of intercontinental flight without refueling.

Entering service in 1948, the B36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jetpowered Boeing B52 Stratofortress from 1955. All but five examples were scrapped in the 1950's.

The B36 set the standard for range and payload for subsequent U.S. intercontinental bombers.
