A report that shows how a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber works
ESThe Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is one of the longest-serving bombers in the history of aviation.
This formidable aircraft made its first flight on April 15, 1952 and entered service in the United States Air Force in February 1955 in its first versions. A total of 744 B-52s were built, of which 72 are still active, all of them the B-52H version.
Currently, a modernization process of this bomber to the B-52J version is underway, with new Rolls Royce F130 engines, a new radar and improvements in its avionics and communication systems. All forecasts indicate that the B-52 will continue to be active when the more modern B-1B Lancer and B-2 Spirit have already been retired from service. To get to know this plane better, I encourage you to see this excellent report published a few days ago by AiTelly, which shows in detail what this strategic bomber looks like inside and how it works:
You can see here some screenshots of this excellent video, as a preview.
