2017年7月5日 · The B-1A was initially developed in the 1970s as a replacement for the B-52. Four prototypes of this long-range, high speed (Mach 2.2) strategic bomber were developed and tested in the mid-1970s, but the program was canceled in 1977 before going into production.

B-1A “Lancer” The B-1 is a “swing wing” strategic bomber of blended wing-body design intended for high-speed, low-altitude penetration missions. Compared to the B-52, the B-1 uses shorter runways, can carry twice the payload, and has a smaller radar profile.

2025年1月7日 · In the early 1960s, is new type of bomber was realised in the General Dynamics F-111. Designed for Air Force and Navy, this aircraft was all-weather capable, supersonic, featured an advanced terrain following radar, and could potentially carry four times the payload of an F-4 Phantom.

The B-1A employs a sensor-controlled automatic system, using movable foreplane vanes to combat low level turbulence. The three bomb bays are capable of carrying eight SRAMs or 25,000 pounds of nuclear or conventional bombs each.

Join Curator Matthew Burchette as he hops in the cockpit of the B-1A Lancer and gives some surprising facts about the largest aircraft at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. ...more.

2018年12月23日 · The B-1A was designed to carry 75,000 pounds (34,019 kilograms) of bombs in an internal bomb bay. It could carry a maximum of 84 MK-82 conventional explosive bombs. For a nuclear attack mission, the Lancer could carry 12 B43 free-fall bombs, or …

2023年10月27日 · Birth of the B-1 Program and the B-1A. The concept behind the B-1 began in 1964 with a United States Air Force (USAF) requirement for an aircraft that could fly supersonic at high altitude and at high subsonic speed at low altitude.

However, the US Air Force still felt a need for the type, and in the 1970s and 1980s pushed the development of a new heavy bomber, the Rockwell "B-1", which is now a prominent tool of American power. This document provides a history and description of the B-1 bomber. A list of illustrations credits is included at the end.

Boeing manages the Rockwell B-1 Lancer, which is a key part of the US Air Force’s strategic bomber fleet. The B-1 was originally designed for speed, but it has evolved over time to prioritize range and capacity.

2016年10月26日 · Forty-two years ago today, the official rollout of the first USAF/Rockwell B-1A multi-role strategic bomber took place at the contractor’s USAF Plant 42 facility in Palmdale, California. The swing-wing, supersonic aircraft was intended to replace the venerable USAF/Boeing B-52 Stratofortress.

2011年7月24日 · Requirements for the B-1A called for high-efficiency cruising flight at both subsonic speeds and at a supersonic Mach number of 2.2. In addition, a low-altitude penetration capability at...

2019年12月4日 · In June 1970, the Air Force announced the selection of Rockwell to develop the new bomber, now designated the B-1. According to the official Air Force history, the Rockwell submission won because of “superior technical proposals, as well as lower cost estimates.” (Knaack, 1988, p. 581.)

2021年7月22日 · Military aircraft seldom take an uneventful road to full operational service and such was the case with the storied Rockwell B-1 "Lancer" heavy bomber of the United States Air Force (USAF).
