Correction: the new version of the BUFF is the B-52J, not K Fun fact: at one point, the USAF was considering putting Stinger AAM’s in the tail to replace the tail gun, which itself varied according to the version. Most models sported a quad .50 cal machine gun turret but the B-52H sported a 20mm Vulcan Gatling cannon Here’s hoping we get a stealth and/or airborne laser version of the BUFF, ala Dale Brown EB-52 Megafortress or AL-52 Dragon Requesting videos on the following: -switchblade aircraft designs such as the FA-37 Talon from the ‘05 movie “Stealth” or the X-02 Wyvern from the Ace Combat franchise (the concept, not the actual fighters I mentioned) -Super Tomcat-21 and ASF-14 -the NATF program as a whole -early ATF proposals/McDonnell Douglas’ ATF proposal -Sea Apache -F-20 Tigershark -Bae SABA -Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Bomber proposal -Northrop’s proposal for what would become the F-117 Nighthawk -Interstate TDR -JSF proposals OTHER THAN the X-32 and X-35 -XFV-12 -Gloster Meteor -the proposals that didn’t win the F-X program that spawned the F-15 Eagle -Erado E.555 -model 853 quiet bird -the USSR’s Project P-2 submarine

I think you missed a quite significant use of B-52. They were used by NASA for high altitude research and more importantly used to launch X-15 rocker powered spaceplanes. Many astronauts cut their teeth on the X-15, and many other X-planes launched by NASA B-52 eventually give them enough data for designing the space shuttle.

*the clip at **5:06** is explained here:* On Friday, 24 June 1994, a United States Air Force (USAF) Boeing B-52 Stratofortress crashed at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, United States,[1] after its pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur "Bud" Holland, maneuvered the bomber beyond its operational limits and lost control. The aircraft stalled, fell to the ground and exploded, killing Holland and the other three crew aboard. The crash was captured on video and was shown repeatedly on news broadcasts throughout the world. The subsequent investigation concluded that the crash was attributable primarily to three factors: Holland's personality and behavior, USAF leaders' delayed or inadequate reactions to earlier incidents involving Holland, and the sequence of events during the aircraft's final flight. The crash is now used in military and civilian aviation environments as a case study in teaching crew resource management. It is also often used by the U.S. Armed Forces during aviation safety training as an example of the importance of compliance with safety regulations and correcting the behavior of anyone who violates safety procedures.

Actually, before either of the accidents cited in the video, there was a B-52 crash over North Carolina in 1961. It was carrying a pair of 4 megaton warheads. It was determined that only a single safe/arm switch had prevented one of the warheads from detonating upon impact.

2:53 there was also a Convair with their YB-60 where they decided to mate their existing B-36 Peacemaker to highly swept wings and changed the mixed piston/jet propulsion for eight jet engines while (unlike B-52) keeping the mostly conventional landing gear setup... and considering how B-52 started (an enlarged B-48), I wonder if Convair and Northrop actually did have point, having either more conventional or much more radical design...

@bigblue6917 Did not actually drop bombs, but apart from that what you say is true (it was exercise skyguard, or something like that). There were eight vulcans involved and the post exercise analysis deemed that most targets would have been hit (forget how many), and more impressive that three of the aircraft would actually have made it home. The vulcan was designed to a similar specification as the B-52 and first flew in 1952 as well.

@jackbunny9010 10 месяцев назад

I was an electronic warfare systems specialist- AFSC 45631A, at Fairchild, Spokane. Miss working on these planes. I don't miss burping the ALQ 155 coolant. Lt Col Bud Holland always pissed off our group when he flew. He stressed the hell out of the planes and all of our shit was always broke. He took one almost straight up off the deck during an airshow. Afterwards, we had equipment that snapped the safety wiring and was flying around in the tail. Looks like his hotdog act finally got him and unfortunately others in '94. Miss the days of these jamming systems though. I went on to building 3G, 4G and 5G cellular networks in the real world. Boring compared to the BUFF. The good old days.

@Chris-ok4zo Год назад

What a nice video on a relatively normal aircraft. One thing that always perplexed me is, despite the BUFF nickname, I always found the design of the wings and body to be very long and skinny. I'd imagine it to look more like an An 124 with that name and the amount of bombs it could carry. Is there a reason I'm overlooking or is it just me? I guess it's because it is built solely for bombs and not general cargo, but I always wondered why it looks so skinny at certain angles.

@cooperlittlehales6268 Год назад

Well it is huge, probably the biggest combat aircraft in the airforce at the time of it getting that knick name. So "fat" probably isn't referring to its looks, but rather its size.

@matsv201 Год назад

It was pretty large at 1950 standard withe the 8 engine that is the same as the 4 on the 707, that is a pretty big aircraft. But of cause wirh the 1960.. the engine used in the 747 is about 3 times more powerful. Making the 4 engines of the 747 1.5 times more powerful than then8 engines of the b52. One more reason why the b52 is ugly is the landing gear arrangement.

The video at 5:07 wasn't an accident. That was a crash at an airshow after a hotshot pilot Lieutenant Colonel Arthur "Bud" Holland pushed the plane beyond it's limit.
