Boeing B-47 Stratojet

Boeing Model 450 B-47 Stratojet adalah pembom strategis pengintai (reconnaissance aircraft) bertenaga jet jangka panjang, enam bermesin, yang dirancang untuk terbang pada kecepatan subsonik tinggi dan di dataran tinggi untuk menghindari intersepsi musuh. Misi B-47 adalah terutama untuk menjatuhkan bom nuklir di Uni Soviet. Dengan mesin yang dibawa dalam polong di bawah sayap menyapu, B-47 adalah inovasi desain jet tempur utama dalam pasca-Perang Dunia II, dan membantu menyebabkan pesawat jet modern.

Layanan B-47 masuk dengan Komando Udara Strategis (SAC) Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1951. Ini tidak pernah terlihat sebagai bomber pertempuran, tetapi andalan kekuatan bomber SAC selama 1950-an dan awal 1960-an, dan tetap digunakan sebagai pembom sampai tahun 1965. Itu juga disesuaikan dengan sejumlah misi lain, termasuk foto pengintaian, intelijen elektronik dan pengintaian cuaca, tetap bekerja sebagai platform pengintai sampai 1969 dan sebagai testbed sampai 1977.
