It represented a milestone in aviation history and a revolution in aircraft design. Every large jet aircraft today is a descendant of the B-47. Because early jet engines could not provide enough thrust for takeoff, the prototype XB-47 had 18 small rocket units in the fuselage for jet-assisted takeoff (JATO). Thrust reversers and anti-skid brakes had not yet been developed, so a ribbon-type drag parachute reduced the B-47 landing speed.BI221877 (k1493)Maximum size:5100px × 4900px (~71 MB)17.0in × 16.3in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1950s-airplanes-B-47 Stratojet (Model 450)-B-47A Stratojet-bombers-clear skies-copy space-day-exteriors-full body views-ground shots-historic production status-jets-landing-military-military livery-monoplanes-parachutes, parafoils and drag chutes-photos-right side views-sunshine-tarmac-unpainted-unpaved ground-vignetting
