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 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 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.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet represented a milestone in aviation history and a revolution in aircraft design. In fact it incorporated many advanced features for the time, including swept wings, jet engines in underwing pods, fuselage mounted main landing gear and automated systems that reduced the standard crew size to three.

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.

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.

2024年5月9日 · On the 47th anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight—and the 15th anniversary of the Douglas DC-3’s initial jaunt—a radical prototype, the XB-47 Stratojet, took to the air for its first flight. Aviation has never been the …

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was a medium-range, strategic bombardment aircraft developed around a shoulder-mounted wing with a 35 degree sweep back wing with six podded engines slung below the wing. As in almost every case of aircraft development later and better design and uses become the normal.

2002年7月10日 · Seemingly poised to thunder into the wild blue yonder sits an Air Force Boeing B-47 Stratojet bomber, guarding the south entrance to the Seattle Museum of Flight. Contemporary in appearance and perhaps the best-looking Boeing aircraft, the Stratojet flew for the first time on December 17, 1947.

2012年3月17日 · After the United States entered the Korean War, demand for the new B-47 became urgent and production was split between Boeing, Lockheed, and Douglas. The first production model, the B-47B, was later eclipsed by the improved B-47E, and both saw extensive service with the new US Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC).

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.

Defensive armament: 2x 20 mm M24A1 cannons in remotely controlled tail turret. Maximum bomb load 25,000 lbs (11,340 kg). Several versions. One was the reconnaissance version RB-47E with 240 built, based on the B-47E. Crew: 3. The first ever swept wing bomber. Data for B-47E. The bomber had ejection seats for the crew.

1997年12月1日 · The Air Force’s B-47 bomber was radically new in design, a sleek, swept-wing beauty built with all the expertise that Boeing had acquired in World War II and inspired by the latest and best in American and German technology. Unlike previous aircraft, the new bomber was powered by six jet engines.

2019年8月21日 · The Boeing B-47 Stratojet represented a milestone in aviation history and a revolution in aircraft design.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet (Model 450) is a six-engine medium strategic bomber aircraft produced by the US-American manufacturer Boeing Company. The B-47 Stratojet was the world's first jet-engine-powered swept-wing bomber aircraft.

The B-47 was the world’s first swept wing bomber and the first to use a bicycle arrangement landing gear, which was necessary because of the thin wings. It was also the first plane built solely for the delivery of nuclear weapons.

2024年4月8日 · The rocket-assisted take-off of a Boeing B-47B, powered by GE J47 engines and Solid Rocket Thrusters; reportedly taken on 15th of April 1954. Throughout the Cold War, the B-47 served as the backbone of the United States’ Strategic Air Command (SAC), assuming a critical role as a nuclear bomber.

The Boeing B-47, the world’s first swept-wing bomber, made its initial flight on Dec. 17, 1947 and quantity deliveries began in 1951. When production ended in 1957, more than 1,200 Stratojets were serving with the Strategic Air Command at USAF bases throughout the world.

The basic B-47 design was translated directly into the KC-135 tanker and the Boeing 367-80 prototype. The latter led to a series of epoch-making 707 airliners, which in turn spawned all of the follow-on aircraft from the 727 to the 777 that have made Boeing an industry giant. The B-47’s basic formula was also seen
