B-47E Stratojet JATO Takeoff

Because early jet engines could not provide enough thrust for takeoff, the 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.
