B-1B Lancer High Speed Low Level MilitaryAircraft.de

[jonesy97]

The bomber that thinks it's a fighter. The sound on those passes, is so bad-ass!

[floridashorti]

BADASS & beautiful Aircraft

[MrZw69]

The first version of the B-1 , which was canceled, was supposed to reach MACH 2.

[soyounoat]

When the wings are fully swept back and you see heavy exhaust, it's going to be a high speed pass. But even with wings forward and less velocity, the B1b can light the afterburners and rattle your.

[meklopfklopf]

Great !!

[kestrelblue]

about 15 years ago at an AFB in Nevada, a retired AF couple in their RV parked on the side of the road over night (unfortunately in the low altitude test run area), found themselves and their RV lying on its side aftrer a B-1 flew over them at about 50 ft

[MrVulcanbomber]

This is Awesome hurry up and return mildenhall

[cschweitzer6472]

@SonicGeneration and @excel4600c that is not the sound barrier or sonic boom. it is called a condensation cone. it is going fast, but it is not going supersonic in this video

[dsoutherngent1]

@cschweitzer6472 Quite right, if the pilot wanted to go supersonic at that height, it'd be no problem, but all the spectators would be deaf. Our boys in Afghanistan have gone mach in the B-1, at that level to do just that, leave potential targets deaf.

[SonicGeneration]

I have never seen that sonic boom cone around the B1 before.. wow!!

[ace55231291]

its not at high speed,the wings are not retracted.

[excel4600c]

@ace55231291 then you need to look at 0:52....fully retracted and cloud round the aircraft i think high speed.

[obeyance]

@excel4600c Hes flying at max ~ sea level speed, which is almost the speed of sound. M .92 if the info i got is correct. At very high altitude it can break the barrier. That cloud you see is the sound barrier =D

[viperdriver82]

look at MACHINE ....i wish i was flying that right now

[toddkeys85]

for those stating that its not supersonic take 1 minute and read from wikipedia: The Rockwell (now part of Boeing) B-1 Lancer[N 1] is a four-engine variable-sweep wing strategic bomber used by the United States Air Force (USAF). First envisioned in the 1960s as a supersonic bomber with sufficient range and payload to replace the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, it developed primarily into a low-level penetrator with long range and supersonic speed capability at high altitude.

[Moose6340]

No airplane that big should be able to do what the Bone can do. It's a fantastic beast to watch.

[bubsfett]

Been looking for footage of this for a while, was outside the show at the bottom of the runway, AWESOME good memories of a class Airshow every year.

[UNSClead1]

@BillWa

The BONE is a supersonic bomber.

[viperior]

Are they insane?? Everyone knows it is dangerous to open a hyperspace window that close to the planet!

[Strayfender]

@viperior what?

[viperior]

@Strayfender Stargate joke.. *pushes glasses up*. I was suggesting that the plane was tearing the fabric of space in order to travel faster than light.

[145Slap789]

Amazing that Jimmy Carter killed the B-1 program and God bless Reagan for kick starting it again!

[Lawrence818]

wow!

[directech111]

Mach 1+ at altitude. Not a normal profile, but if we need to get to the other side of a Country the capability is there.

[Zoso1971Zep]

Yes it is supersonic-not difficult to look up the information if you don't know-Wikipedia for example

[BillWa]

The Bone is not supersonic,

[wesdevine]

you're an idiot. the b1b is supersonic. but it wasn't flying above the sound barrier...hence no sonic boom.

[Viking445]

Spine Tingling Awesomeness!! That stuff turns me into a giggling 10 year old!!

[TiBossII]

Only one word to describe the BONE...Beautiful...

[onafnno1]

looks like they tried to hide the b-1 behind its own cloud, discount stealth technology!

[C63AMGestate]

The noise is just something else to behold....

[terr0rwolf]

I remember at the ILA 2008......a few hundred meters away were constantly airliners at takeoff or landing, no big deal....the occasionally F-5 program or Helicopters going on....until a B-1B took off, right over the area - this was the loudest ..."thing" I have ever heard....every noise ecxept the four engines was suddenly cut off, and sorta stopped.

But F-4s are pretty loud too (and pretty to look at - since the -E)

[StormChaserNick]

I clicked on this video because from the video thumbnail it looks like a corsail with a vapor cone! haha

[TheSlayerman7]

you cant really see the sonic boom with the clouds everywhere

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@TheSlayerman7 it wasn't a sonic boom, there wasn't even a boom. the vapor cone was from there being alot of moisture in the air.

[muzicrox9]

@yoyoyoyoshua The B-1B ISN'T supersonic,so there isn't a sonic boom

[superskullmaster]

@TheSlayerman7 sorry your such an idiot.

[amonomnom]

I like this plane!!!

[josephaspahr]

The Phantom is loud, that is true, but the Tornado takes it for volume.

[stratofortress68]

F-4s are a proof that you put a big enough rocket on a brick you can make it fly.. don't get me wrong the f-4 is a pretty bird, love the lines along the body , but its not f-15. as for the b-1 four F100 engines in full augmentation (afterbuners) has 200dbs per engine. not that I was ever impressed with the Bone, it sucked to work on. broke more than it flew, and it had only had a 65% FMC rate when I worked them from 1994-98

[KD5XB]

@stratofortress68 Not true. EVERY aerodynamic feature of the F-4 has a purpose. The thrust to weight ratio doesn't even compare to the F-15, F-16, F-18 -- meaning that those three aircraft are likely even MORE proof that a big enough rocket will make a brick fly.

[bronxkidd23]

nice

[hsvenforcer]

Great vid ruined by auto focus

[lwm762]

...Wish I had one. Damn! =)

[card797]

transsonic



[Saranm25]

I'll be seeing this amazing bomber in 3 days at an airshow! I fell in love with it when I saw it for the first time last year at our air show. Loudest aircraft I've EVER heard!

[KD5XB]

@Saranm25

Incredible airplane! Originally meant to be even faster!

As for loud -- I take it you've never been around the F-4 Phantom 2...

[BMuris]

@KD5XB To me Phantom was one of the loudest jets as well. Out of all the jets I have been around, my ears were actually hurting whenever F-4 would flyby.

As to this video, nice! Thanks for sharing.

[kingrex1002]

@Saranm25 what airshow do you go to?

[Saranm25]

@kingrex1002 Rockford, IL AirFest

[cgts18]

Those things are bitchin'

[seminolePP]

wow!

[hawkplaya94]

its a flying house that blows up things and flies at supersonic speeds...what else?

[PotholesInMyLawn]

nice



[gemma2208]

cool video!
