The six-engine Boeing B-47 was America's first multiengine swept-wing jet bomber. Its thin 116-foot wing was extraordinarily flexible and swept back at a 35-degree angle. Eighteen small rocket units in the fuselage provided jet-assisted takeoff (JATO), and parachutes cut its landing speeds. Later models were powered by 5,200-pound-thrust axial-flow jet engines, and top speeds were 600 mph. A total of 2,032 B-47s in all versions were built.BI212308 (bw40711)Maximum size:5100px × 3950px (~57 MB)17.0in × 13.1in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1940s-airplanes-B-47 Stratojet (Model 450)-blur-bombers-clear skies-copy space-day-exteriors-full body views-ground shots-historic production status-jets-landing-left front views-left side views-military-military livery-monoplanes-parachutes, parafoils and drag chutes-photos-runways-speed-sunshine-tarmac-taxiing-text-unpaintedRelated Photo/Videos:View All
