B-52 Black Smoke Mystery: Why This Bomber Smokes So Much  

That's not a flaw. That is power and reliability

On startup they start the engines with explosives hence the big black smoke😮

There’s a simple fix you get a barometric pressure reading and you reset the Bellows of the engine before flight and then they’ll burn clean. See that navy has the aircraft that has the same engine. It was the A3 engineer and I worked at AMD so I was authorized to make those adjustments.

B-52s are getting new Rolls Royce engines for much more reliability and efficiency

They are getting new engines. It could fly far with the old engines. It will fly even further with new technology. Almost nothing on the planes are original. The b52’s that are flying are the last ones that were built.

I want a waiver for all diesel engines, relying on Deft

Black smoke is from rockets that assist with takeoff.
