You did a good job on your presentation of the upgraded H-Model. I have several hundred Vietnam combat hours as an Aircraft Commander in the D-Model. The H-Model reminds me that what I was flying was in the “horse and buggy” days. Our advantage was that we could carry 108 “dumb” bombs.
@@Aitelly The D model could be configured with 3 High Density racks holding 84 Mk 82's internal and 24 on 4 Multiple Ejector Racks (MER's ) on two external wing pylons.
You make it sound so complex and hard. I have an acquaintance who flew the BUFF for 25 years (D model, from the Chrome Dome days to Linebacker II and beyond). He's a grand old 93-years-old now. Whenever asked by someone, what it was like to fly the BUFF, his reply was always, "Easy to drive, hard to park." He could then spend hours with someone talking about flying it. He loved all those years in the air with the BUFF.
That's like saying a smart phone isn't complex because an 8-year-old knows how to use it. It's not that the 8-year-old is a genius, but the people that created the smart phone are geniuses. Most people can drive a car, less people can actually design and build one from scratch.
As for it defending against fighters, you missed something. Early B-52 Bombers used to have Tail Turrets either with 4 machine guns or a single Gatling gun. The B-52 also took part in bombing Hanoi during the Vietnam War, in what is known as Operation Linebacker II
@@Aitelly they would deploy wing payload pods alternatively and not just on one pod....So back and forth... as what will happen as the fuel burns off???
The B-52 is made out of aluminum, 7075 T6 forms the front and rear spars of the wing. And 2024 or 2045 or 2075 form the ribs and stringers, and for the fuselage the skin thickness varies anywhere from 39 thousand to 45 thousand of an inch, and some cases it may be more. The entire aircraft is made out of aluminum except for the landing gear area, which will have some steel components and the landing gear itself, which will be made out of a mixture of aluminum and steel. It is important to note that these aluminum components, including the skins are a mixture of copper, zinc, and magnesium mixed with pure aluminum to form these components.
Actually you got a couple things wrong. But the big one was the Navigator and radar operator in the back do not eject upwards, they eject down and out of the aircraft. Only the pilot and co-pilot have upward ejection seats. What you're calling the electronic warfare station no longer exists at that particular location. It is combined with the bombardier's station in the lower deck Also they do not use full flaps on takeoff typically set at 3/4. On Landing they will typically you use full flaps. Also the B-52 rarely uses laser designator they tend to use GPS guided weapons for the vast majority of weapons
The Flower Flaps of the B-52 are fully extended (35 degrees) for both takeoff and landing. The flaps deflect fully during the first 37.5% of extension with little rearward movement. For the remainder of extension the flaps move rearward only, increasing the area of the wing. Unlike more conventional aircraft, if you took off with partial flaps you would have all the drag but only part of the lift produced by the flaps, so there is no benefit to it. Since the airplane doesn't rotate for takeoff that lift is essential in shortening the takeoff roll. Why would they use start using only 3/4 flaps 70 year later?
The B-52’s Fowler flaps have only two settings, full up or full down. Furthermore, the flaps are retracted quickly after takeoff in order to achieve a satisfactory climb rate, as they produce significant drag.
The electronic warfare section definitely does still exist. Future plans call for them to be combined but the aircraft is not configured in a way that makes this possible yet. The instructor electronic warfare officer occupies the old gunner seat when instructing a student.
Another informative and entertaining segment. However, a minor correction: At 6:11, change Superfortress to Stratofortress. Beyond that - Because the B-52 goes back to 1952, an expanded version of this segment could included the various changes through history like the evolution then elimination of the rear turret.
What’s really funny is that the design for B-52 is older than the US Air Force, and start out as an army air corps project in 1947 in fact a Army air, Corps officer approved the start of the project first B-52 flew in 1952 there a older you tube chip of a Boeing engineer who was at that meeting in a hotel he goes over how what and when and is one of the original engineers
@@fastone942 In fact, one of the original designs for the B-52 had turboprop engines like the Russian TU-95, which entered service at around t4he same time. The B-52 design was then switched to turbojet engines.
Gonna need more than a shotgun load to start a Pratt & Whitney TF-33 P-3. I worked on EC-135s and RC-135s that take approximately 4 TF-33 engines and the holder for the cartridge charge was about the size of a coffee pot. Cool video!
My father Lucio R Blanco helped put this beautiful jets together. He welded the Titanium in the late 1950's and into the mid 1960's 😇 We lived in Manhattan Beach then later in Burbank. God Bless
God bless your Father Lucio R Blanco 😇 We should value the men and women who worked hard building this great aircraft that will fly for the next 3 decades to come.
Nice graphics! BTW, flaps are not for a cushion of air when landing, they're to reduce landing speed. Also, spoilers are to spoil wing lift and prevent bouncing (starting to fly again) once the gear compresses. They're not air brakes. Interesting story, an F-111F flown by an Aussie exchange pilot came back with throttles stuck above 50% at Mt Home AFB. No problem, just a high speed (flaps up) landing. However, he forgot spoilers will not deploy with throttles above 50%. There's a mechanical switch at the center arc of the throttle levers that you could stick a pencil in to flick backwards (indicating
I was hoping to know more about its 'cart-start' starup... while I already appreciate this channel and it's unique production/contents. please please never rush your videos. prioritize quality over quantity. it's good for long term earnings too.
Most turbojet engines of that era could use either pyrotechnic starter cartridges or the wheeled carts that supplied high pressure air to start the engines. Assuming you mean the former, they were about the size of a coffee can and produced a lot of noxious smoke. In a quick-start configuration with all engines started simultaneously by cartridges the ground crew would need respirators.
I assume that the two ejection seats in the navigation area are not zero-zero ejection seats since they fire the crew down and out of the aircraft. If they aren’t at a high enough altitude they are basically screwed.
Its good. All mechanical. We have newer bombers but if yohr bomber can be taken put by an emp you know you want your other bomber which can fly mechanically on 60s tech
I currently work at the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Nebraska, home of RB-52B 52-8711, the first B-52 delivered to the US Air Force.
I was JUST wondering if you’d put out a new video and it pops up 10 seconds later. Thanks! First too.. (hate people doing that but I couldn’t help it I understand now.)😂
Alright, hear me out guys! this is mindblowing! The B-52H Stratofortress is the only variant of the B-52 series that remains operational. Each B-52H can carry up to 20 AGM-86 ALCMs (Air-Launched Cruise Missiles). These missiles come in different variants, such as the AGM-86B (nuclear version with the W80 warhead, delivering 150 kilotons of yield) or the AGM-86C/D (conventional version with a 900 kg high-explosive warhead). For this discussion, let's focus on the AGM-86B. There are currently more than 70 B-52H bombers still in service, but for simplicity's sake, let's assume 70 in total. Each B-52H loaded with 20 AGM-86B missiles would have a combined nuclear yield of approximately 3 megatons (20 missiles × 150 kilotons each). If all 70 B-52H bombers were deployed with their full nuclear payloads, the total potential yield would amount to 210 megatons (70 bombers × 3 megatons each). This represents an enormous amount of destructive power-14,000 times more powerful than the 15-kiloton "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Which is also more than four times the yield of the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated, with a yield of 50 megatons. Such a concentration of nuclear firepower is almost unimaginable. While deploying such a massive strike is unlikely due to strategic, political, and humanitarian reasons, it underscores the sheer destructive capacity that a fleet of B-52H Stratofortress bombers can deliver with modern nuclear armaments. Can you imagine it?🤯🤯
i always get so hyped and excited followed by a heavy feeling of gratefulness and happy sadness that i exist being protected by the entire US military.
Ok FYI the wings are NOT ridged.. they will flex 18' up and Down based on Fuel load and wind under the wing.. That said the wing tip gear which are on the ground under a heavy load out will take off first as the wing builds lift and flex's up.. So yeah leave on a mission the tip gear is compressed to only a foot or two of tip gear cylinder showing, come home and the wheel is at eye level or higher, that will come back down as we refuel..
the plan flies mostly level when it has weapons on board, if it does not have weapons in level flight it flys 13 degrees nose down.. So it will lift straight up on take off and you will see it continue to climb as the nose rotates down, as it will use a less than 10 degree climb
The modern versions of the B-52 (Specifically the B-52G and onwards) still have ailerons, they're very small and located between the flaps on the wings, they're mostly used for small, delicate corrections of the roll of the aircraft for operations like aerial refueling
I was told that the reason the gear close opposite ways was to keep cost of development and number of unique parts it had.. the way its done currently allow them to use the same gear assembly on left and right. but im not positive
When I was active duty security in SAC in the 70's, I saw dozens of B52 bombers being loaded and maintained in alert areas. They had TWO bomb bays then, usually a rotary SRAM pack in one and a massive single "big Bertha" in the other one. This illustrates a single bay with just one rack of weapons. What's the explanation?
Yes we just give it a name kind of idiom and phrases - If Shakespeare can break the English Grammar Rule why not us :) Joke aside we got a little excite writing the script

Yes this is true the b52 on display at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is credited with a kill using its tail gun
B-52s continued to have a tail turret until the end of the Cold War in late 1991.
The fuel transfer is to compensate the asymmetry of the yaw, not the center of gravity
Yes you re 100% right, but I really heard the pilot say something like Like weapons Payload uneveness and Battle damage also
When one wing is heavier than the other due to holding more fuel or stores it doesn't cause yaw, it causes roll. So it is center of gravity.

Alright, hear me out guys! this is mindblowing! The B-52H Stratofortress is the only variant of the B-52 series that remains operational.

Somewhere in SEA in the 70's: "That's not a plane, it was a flying aluminum material"
12:41 imagine if there was recorded real life footage of this lol
Can you do B1 next
6:10 error correction, Stratofortress NOT "Superfortress"
Yes we just give it a name kind of idiom and phrases - If Shakespeare can break the English Grammar Rule why not us :)
Joke aside we got a little excite writing the script
@@Aitelly They are two different planes from two different eras.
BUFF ≠ Big Fat Ugly Fellow.
Please make video American Rockwell B1 B Lencer 🙏🙏🙏
It has approximately four engines, it is widely reported.
I like the visual demonstrations, simple graphics, mapping, grids, and the animations it must've took very long right?
Love the video helps alot, I'm building a b52 in space engineers (videogame) and a few friends ask me if I can build some of the details of a b52 and I'll try my best to build all the details.
Question?
How long does it take to manufacturer 1 B-52?
How many B-52's does the Air Force currently have?
Why do you wanna know hmmmmmmmm
They no longer manufacture them…also the fleet count is online.
With aerial refueling, these planes can stay up almost indefinitely, right? So where's the crapper, the kitchen, the sauna, the spa and the bedrooms?
There is a very spartan toilet on board the B-52, but it's not accessible by all crew members.
At base ops at Edwards Air Force Base. They had a sub sandwich called the BUFF. It had everything except the kitchen sink.
Well done! Thanks for putting this video together. Very informative!!
