Carrying the largest conventional payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory, the multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force.

2015年12月16日 · Carrying the largest conventional payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory, the multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force. It can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere.

The B-1B is a conventional, long-range, supersonic, penetrating strike aircraft derived from the canceled B-1A. The B-1A first flew on Dec. 23, 1974, and four prototypes were developed and tested before program cancellation in 1977.

The B-1 Lancer can fly at a maximum speed of 1,448km/h. Its service ceiling is 9,144m. The aircraft weighs around 86,182kg and its maximum take-off weight is 216,363kg.

The vastly upgraded aircraft added 74,000 lb. of usable payload, improved radar, and reduced radar cross section, but cut speed to Mach 1.2. B-1 B saw first combat in Iraq during Desert Fox in 1998. Its three internal weapons bays hold a substantial payload, allowing different weapons in …
