The Boeing B-47 Stratojet (Boeing company designation Model 450) is a retired American long- range, six-engined, turbojet -powered strategic bomber designed to fly at high subsonic speed and at high altitude to avoid enemy interceptor aircraft.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was the first swept wing jet bomber and the first to be designed to carry nuclear weapons. The design of the B-47 relied on swept wing data captured from Germany after World War II. Boeing engineers had envisioned a jet-powered plane as early as 1943.

In the 1950s the Boeing B-47 Stratojet was the backbone of the Strategic Air Command. The third aircraft company to be awarded a development contract in the 1944 Air Force competition was Boeing with a straight wing design, which housed four jet engines in the fuselage.

2013年2月1日 · The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was the perfect strategic weapon for its time, so feared by its enemies that the bomber never had to perform its lethal nuclear mission. The Soviet leadership knew the B-47—swiftly deployed in ever greater numbers—gave the United States an unstoppable nuclear strike force.

All three Albuquerque members of the Stratojet Association were on hand today to present the check for $5,000 to Jim Walther, Director of the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. An Air Force bomber crashed on Emigrant Peak in 1962. Remembering the men who died has become one man’s mission.

The B-47 Stratojet is one of the most important aircraft ever designed by The Boeing Company. It was the world's first large swept-wing aircraft, ushering in a long line of jet bombers and civil transports.

The B-47 Stratojet became an essential component of the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as a nuclear bomber and a reconnaissance aircraft. Designed to meet a 1944 requirement, the first XB-47 prototype flew in December 1947, performing far beyond its competitors.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet is a long-array, jet- power-driven, six-engine strategic bomber intended to fly at maximum altitudes and at high subsonic speeds, to prevent enemies from intercepting. The mission of this aircraft was to drop nuclear explosives on the Soviet Union.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was operational with the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command beginning in May 1951 with the first operational B-47Bs to the 306th Bombardment Wing, Medium, …

The B-47 became the first true modern bomber to fill the ranks of General Curtiss Lemay's new Strategic Air Command. With long range, high altitude capabilities, the "Stratojet" became the backbone of SAC in the early 1950s.
