Ok, insert best L/D ratio for a "SUPERSONIC" manned bomber! Would you buy that? I took the original quote from an article, on reflection, not the brightest idea!
Sounds like a pretty good ratio to me, although Comcorde must have been very efficient at Mach 2. I dimly recall Concorde being quoted at 7:1? Although not a bomber of course.
