B-47 Stratojet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Boeing B-47 Stratojet jet bomber was a medium range and size bomber capable of flying at high subsonic speeds and primarily designed for penetrating the Soviet Union. The aircraft was given the name "Stratojet", but the moniker was infrequently used in practice. While the Air Force put the B-47As through their paces, the Cold War was rising to full force, with a hot war intensifying in Korea. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/B-47_Stratojet   (7956 words)

B-45 Tornado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The B-45 was an important part of the United States's nuclear deterrent for several years in the early 1950s, but was rapidly succeeded by the Boeing B-47 Stratojet. The North American Aviation B-45 Tornado was the United States Air Force's first operational jet bomber, and the first jet aircraft to be refueled in the air. The B-45 began development in 1944, when the War Department, alarmed by German developments, called for a new family of jet bombers grossing between 80,000 and 200,000 pounds. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/B-45_Tornado   (868 words)

Yeager used nearly eight miles of lakebed runway getting it on the ground, and later claimed that it was like flying a hot air balloon. www.edwards.af.mil /gallery/yeager/docs_html/B-47.html   (167 words)

The Boeing B In summary, the B-47 was a technological innovation in bomber aircraft design with swept wings, jet engines, the ability to be air refueled, and an operational envelope equal to the fighter aircraft of the early 1950's. The Stratojet was also one of the more beautiful airplanes to grace America's skies. With the speed and maneuverability of the fighters of the late forties, Boeing's swept-wing XB-47 won the bomber competition and swiftly transformed the XB-46 and the XB-48 into aviation footnotes. www.strategic-air-command.com /aircraft/B-47/b47-history.htm   (1492 words)

B-47 — The Stratojet Survivors The B-47 Stratojet flew as the front line nuclear bomber until the B-52 was available in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

Boeing B-47 Stratojet -- Chapter 11 The B-47E was basically the standardized production version of the Stratojet, and incorporated many innovations that had been suggested by experience with the B-47B. Because of the Milk Bottle repair program, testing delays, and the phase-out of some SAC B-47 wings due to a lack of funds, SAC was forced to scale down its low-altitude requirements to only 500 Stratojets. This program was given a new sense of urgency by the belief that by 1963 all B-47s would be hopelessly obsolete if they were not equipped for low-level flight. www.csd.uwo.ca /~pettypi/elevon/baugher_us/b047-11.html   (1646 words)
