Nothing but click bait. These engines are existing engines repurposed for the B-52. A great choice and a smart choice. I was in SAC in the 70’s and they were talking about re-engining the Buff back then but the Pentagon and Congress didn’t want you to invest that much money for an old bomber,but they had no idea the Buff would still be relevant and effective 50 years later.
No these engines are significantly less fuel efficient. They are just more powerful. I hate the computer read out because he reads so many things incorrectly.
@@terrainofthought Yea,but upgrading the Buff will cost much fewer tax dollars than the B-21 Raider and multi billion dollar Subs and Aircraft carriers,let alone all the money Congress has wasted on Ukraine and Israel. The flying wings are so expensive they don’t really get used that much.
@terrainofthought umm... What??? Clearly your not from the states so let me just say all of that comment is incorrect sir because we have all of those issues and a lot of each!!
They weren't smoke trails as such but predominantly unburnt fuel. Something common in non afterburning engines. The dear old F4 was only smokeless when in afterburner
They differ because airliners use High Bypass Ratio "fan jet engines" which are fuel efficient. Military planes are more "pure turbine high power units".
"The Army made eight variants" The Army, seriously ? The AAF issued perfomance requirements, they did not build anything. By the time the B-47 flew there was no AAF, it was the United Sates Air Force. There was no B-52 at all that had anything to do with the Army. What else did they get so obviously wrong ?
In the United States, Rolls-Royce employs nearly 6,000 people with significant operations in 27 states. The subject engines will be wholly produced in the US.
@@richardanderson2742 yes you are correct, USA nationals are working for the UK and making them rich and USA nationals depended , to the extend of not been able to develop their own national manufacturing any more , from car to cowboy boots . Thank you for reading my comment correctly. saludos
I am tired of seeing these videos, a new one every week! Stop making them! I want to know when they are going to fly the first plane after the new engines are installed!
