B-45 With a first-flight date of March 17, 1947, the North American B-45 Tornado was the first jet-powered bomber to be put into production in the United States and the first to enter operational service with the USAF. The maximum lift-drag ratio of the B-45 was 16.3, about the same as that of the B-29, and its zero-lift drag coefficient was a much lower 0.0160 as compared with 0.0241 for the earlier aircraft. The Tornado first entered service with the Strategic Air Command in November 1948, and final retirement of the type from operational service took place in 1958. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/systems/b-45.htm   (1363 words)

Original Artwork: Steve Ferguson: North American B-45 Tornado Airplane North American's XB-45 prototype made its first flight in 1947, and the aircraft was such a hit that the Air Force initially ordered 96 "A" models, christened Tornados. But the Tornado never fired a shot in anger, and the formidable aircraft passed into aviation history by the end of the 1950s. The Tornado was the U.S. armed forces' first four-engined jet bomber. www.artworkoriginals.com /EB5TBYC4.htm   (355 words)

North American Aviation The North American B-45 Tornado was one of America's first operational bombers to use jet propulsion and was the first four-engine aircraft to fly in the United States. The four-engine B-45 Tornado became the first operational jet bomber in early 1947. But with the old "straight-wing" configuration rather than the new swept wings, its performance was weak, and only 143 were sold. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Aerospace/NorthAmerican/Aero37.htm   (1888 words)

North American B-45 Tornado - www.ezboard.com The North American B-45 Tornado was the first operational jet bomber to be used by the USAF. For a couple of years during the early and mid-1950s, the B-45 Tornado was a key element in the US nuclear deterrent. Since the radar gun direction system originally planned for the Tornado was not yet perfected, a tail gunner's cockpit was provided for the aiming of the two 0.50-cal machine guns in the tail. pub131.ezboard.com /fjpspanzersfrm25.showMessage?topicID=245.topic   (3733 words)

US Bomber Designations One of the categories that had been introduced in 1924 was B, which originally stood strictly for medium bombers, as distinguished from heavy bombers (HB) and light bombers (LB). There were already two entries in the B series, the Keystone XB-1B and the Curtiss B-2 Condor. With the advent of missiles in the 1940s and 1950s, the USAF decided in 1951 to assign "B" designations to its ground attack missiles. home.att.net /~jbaugher2/Bdesig.html   (1767 words)

English Electric Canberra - US Air Force Museum Bomber Virtual Aircraft Gallery Five aircraft were evaluated: the North American B-45 "Tornado", North American AJ-1 "Savage", Martin XB-51, Avro Canada CF-100 and the English Electric Canberra. The USAF arranged a loan of an RAF Canberra B Mk 2 (WD940) and the aircraft became the first jet aircraft to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean without refueling. An initial contract for 250 aircraft to be built as B-57A was signed in late March and included the purchase of two RAF Canberra B Mk 2 aircraft. www.wpafb.af.mil /museum/research/bombers/b5/b5-3.htm   (550 words)

Martin B-57 Night Intruder (Canberra) - 0026 From a number of candidate vehicles, including the previously discussed North American B-45 Tornado, the English Electric Canberra bomber was selected to fill the USAF night-intruder role. In March 1951, the USAF contracted with the Glenn Martin Company to build the Canberra in the United States under a licensing agreement with English Electric. Hence, an existing "off the shelf " aircraft was sought to fill the mission requirements. www.scalecraft.com /index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=640   (224 words)

B-47 — The Stratojet Survivors These were the North American B-45 Tornado, Convair B-46, Boeing B-47 Stratojet, and the Martin B-48. Early on in the all-jet build-off, it was apparent that the B-45 and B-46 would be ready well before the other two aircraft. To address this requirement, the USAAF issued four different contracts to develop an all-jet bomber. www.visi.com /~jweeks/b47/index.html   (803 words)
