Greatly inspired by the "Longer B-58 Hustler service?" thread by @Rule of cool How could the B-47 have had a more impactful service life? Improved engines and aerodynamics? Exports to friendly nations? As a total What-if thought, I would consider a four-engine B-47 evolution as seen with...

A rare video about the B-47 Stratojet and some programs surrounding it

From Boeing magazine 1953, here is a strange helicopter with Mr. Herbert Munter

From Boeing magazine 1950, what was these two Boeing designs ?,maybe a generic or ?.

From Boeing magazine 1961, can anyone ID this beast ?,may the number 733 was for its model,because we know that designation had been used for different concepts !.

I used to nurse the fond belief that only the B52G and H versions carried Hound Dog missiles and that they were only loaded in the "silver era". Thanks to the Internet it turned out that the Dog served well into the 70s and so was carried by SIOP scheme B52s. An example is shown here...

Looks like ULA could be up for sale this year. Blue Origin would seem the natural purchasers but I am not sure that would be such a good thing. View: https://twitter.com/sciguyspace/status/1630974915674243082...

This is great. I'm not a fan of the Eurocopter Tiger, and I wished that Germany had picked the Apache or Cobra.

How is this possible? The Department of Defense is always asking for more money. I think I'd fall over dead if I ever heard a DoD official say, "We're asking for less money this year." https://apnews.com/article/earnings-ad492e449fe65c0ca1844612726abbfc

Hi all, I have a short presentation from 2004 about Boeing's MA-31 target drone program. These were Kh-31 missile bodies bought from Russia and modified to replace the Navy's MQM-8 Vandal supersonic targets. Attached below is the PDF file.

White there is information about the missile itself: https://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-84.html https://www.docdroid.com/WbANE9i/agm-84-harpoon-missile-block-1d-brochure-pdf#page=2 There are mentions that, one of the reason it wasn't produced, was that the missiles were too big for...

Battle begins between Bell and Boeing for Polish attack helicopter requirement. Cheers https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/defence-helicopter/ah-64e-and-ah-1z-to-fight-it-out-for-polands-attac/

I'd love to hear everyones thoughts on the topic; if Skybolt enters service, what differences if any does it make? For SAC and USAF, it gives them an airborne deterrence rivaled only by the equally impressive Polaris program. But Vietnam still occurs, and conventional capabilities are still a...

This really should have its own thread, so I have started one. View: https://twitter.com/wapodavenport/status/1365363224581988354 View: https://twitter.com/wapodavenport/status/1365363380765290499 View: https://twitter.com/wapodavenport/status/1365363475560726536 View...

The famous B-52 Stratofortress has been in service with the USAF for more than 65 years and its iconic shape is known and recognised all over the world. Yet the B-52 and its predecessor, the B-47 Stratojet, started out looking very different indeed. Each aircraft was the end product of a lengthy...

Apparently the gas turbine in question (Model 502) was originally developed in response to a USN requirement, presumably on behalf of the USMC. I wonder what the intended vehicle was? https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2011/05/09/turbine-powered-oddities-no-466-the-see-through-kenworth-boeing...
