Such a shame they killed its supersonic ability. This used to be a mach 2 aircraft before they stealthed it, should make it supersonic. B2s for stealth, B1s for fast response.
@kbad73 It can only fly super sonic at high altitude (Like 50,000 ft), It was optimized for low-level penetration which it's Mach 0.92. He was talking about the B1A which was disign to be Mach 2.2.
@sleeplespsycho very true, the B model only goes supersonic at high altitude. Go in under the radar blanket, take out 8-10 targets with its bombs, and get outta dodge high and fast. In both cases, very hard for anybody to do anything about the bone being in the neighborhood.
@kbad73 You might be right, but that also depending on many things like temp+Humidity+.... But the spec for the B1B are: Maximum speed: At altitude: Mach 1.25 (721 knots, 830 mph, 1,340 km/h at 50,000 ft/15,000 m altitude) At low level: Mach 0.92 (700 mph, 1,130 km/h at 200–500 ft/60-150 m altitude) Range: 6,478 nmi (7,456 mi, 11,998 km) Combat radius: 2,993 nmi (3,445 mi, 5,543 km) Service ceiling: 60,000 ft (18,000 m).
@kbad73 I don't totally believe in them, just that are the only closest info most people can find, Am I suppose to believe on someone words with no prove what so ever over that?
@sleeplespsycho My point is that your statements make it sound like you are sharing known facts. If you don't totally believe the specs you listed then just say "according to wikipedia the B-1 specs are" etc. Unless you cite your source, am I supposed to believe your word with no proof what so ever?
@kbad73 See Bone in Action by Lou Drendel, Squadron Signal Publications, Carrollton TX, 2002. Drendel flew co-pilot on a B-1 training mission and spoke to or corresponded with a number of B-1 flight crew to research the book. The B-1 holds a world 200-tonne time-to-height record of 9.42 to 39,370ft (12,000m) and is well capable of 50,000ft, its rated top-speed (Mach 1.2) altitude - just, its mission profile never takes it there.
Not many things on earth sound better than that... Makes you pity every human who ever came before and never got to hear the completely unique and radiantly sexy sound that is a jet engine. Poor bastards
It was called "Operation Chrome Dome", Strategic Air Command kept a minimum of 13 nuclear armed aircraft airborne 24/7. 12 aircraft flew in long orbits outside Soviet airspace and a 13th circled Thule Air Force base in Greenland watching for attacks on our early warning radar systems and acting as a relay encase communications were lost with the base. The program was cancelled after an armed B52 crashed at Thule on Jan 22, 1968.
holy crap thats what that was i had one of those fly super close to my house it looked about 20 to 30 yards of the ground and about 30 to 50 feet in front of me and the reason its not that accurate is because i saw it out my window rite after it past
@zpepeleque That being said, there WERE instances in which we kept strategic bombers on alert orbiting the Soviets. In a time of crisis, you would have B-52s circling outside of Soviet airspace ready to launch cruise missiles...more importantly, in the Cuban Missile Crisis, nearly every bomber was put in the air or ready to launch if needed. The problem with doing this is that you raise tensions and risk a misunderstanding and a possible preventetive strike by the other side to stop an attack.
@zpepelepue No, for multiple reasons. One, it would be ridiculously expensive to keep nuclear-loaded planes in the air from 1946 to 1991. The main reason, however, is because it was risky and unneccessary. Keeping any nuke 30,000 feet above the ground is a security risk- what the hell happens if it crashes? That was the B-1's purpose, to be on-alert on the ground and go supersonic to the USSR. Also, you had ICBMS that could deliver warheads much quicker starting in the '50s.
My understanding was that a significant number of B47, B58 and B52s were kept flying 24 hours per day as part of the strategic response to the threat of a Soviet nuclear attack during stretches of the Cold War, no? I know that in the 60s and 70s that B52s stationed at Barksdale AFB were kept airborne and nukes were stored there.
@jdhiner1 I was thinking the same thing, and also wondering about the astronomical amount of fuel it must take to run four engines on afterburner for a few minutes.
Nice Description :D I see, that some people does not thinking, and it's pissing you up! :) don't worry, I've seen much worse stupid comments to other films at the youtube( for example: someone have recorded and uploaded the shadow of contrail... the comments were about "mysterious black chemitrale" or "dark ufo chaseing passenger jet", etc.).
This was most likely a combat exercise because most of the US's strategic bomber fleet stays on standby. Launching a flight of bombers, nuclear capable or not, is not good for foreign military alert levels. Occasionally, we would keep B-52s in the air in the Cold War, but that would be it.

@stevenmwilliams23 They're actually not canards, and they aren't there for maneuverability. They're referred to as the "structural mode control system (SMCS)" vanes. They are there to plane out the turbulence that occurs at low altitudes (500' at 540kts). We don't use them at all up high.
@nexus1g Red Flag is a training exercise were the USAF, along with some coalition partners and joint partners, simulate a war. It was instituted in Vietnam once they figured out most pilots who survived their first 10 combat missions survived the war, so we needed a way to get guys those first ten "combat" missions before they faced an enemy who was actually going to shoot them down. It's a pretty awesome experience, something that we don't get in every day training.

Only thing cooler is having a C-141 flying over your house at about 200 ft. Talk about scaring the hell out of you, Thanks Davis Monthan and the Tactical Airlift Squadron for waking me so early that day !!!
@lycanthropeify no, the wings don't have to be swept back for the burners to be lit. The wings are probably swing out because they need maximum lift (looks like they recently departed an airbase).
The B1 is my favorite bomber even more than the B2, it just looks so bad ass with the swept wings. When it is flying it looks like a pteradactyl...........badass.
Always an awesome sight to see the B-1 with the dogs barkin'!!!! Full afterburner,for those of you not familiar with the phrase......sexy,big,fast and loud!!That's the BONE.....quite frankly,it's like a giant fighter plane.......very fast indeed...thank you,from an Air Force veteran,for posting this great video......
when jets use afterburners the temperature of nozzles get very high..of which metal or alloy or whatever these planes r made so they didn't get too heated or melt especially in nozzles??
@nick22934 The nozzles are titanium, but the main feature that protects them from the heat is the use of a ducted air that keeps the flame from effecting the metal beyond its tolerance. This is funnelled by a liner in the exhaust and taken from bypass air, which is pushed straight off the fan. This air is the primary source of thrust, and provides the majority of the air supply for augmentor operation. Because this air hasn't been burned, it is incorrect to call it an /after/burner.
@mchalms Close but the primary source of thrust on a F101 is not fan air. This is not a high bypass motor, like you would find on a C-5/17 etc. So which would mean the majority in the aug section is hot gases that get mixed with cool bypass air, which is the mixture that makes augmetors more fuel efficient over afterburners. Where as AB's had no bypass and just dumped raw fuel into the hot gasflow and reignited. But every mx person or pilot still like to call it "going into ab".
@shastymcnastey I have see the b1 take off, maybe 1000 times, I was in the AI shop at Dyess AFB from 96 till 04. I cannot remember one takeoff that did not have afterburners lit...
@dandoosh90 not trying to be a hater, but the wing sweep system is not automatic... Both the pilot and copilot have a wing sweep handle to the window side of them. The handles are linked together so if one moves the handle, both move... There is also an electromechanical reset system in case the pilots reverse the handle while the wings are in motion. On a different note, I remember my first month on the job... Our shop chief at the time took me out to demonstrate the wing sweep operation, but
@LEDGMO The wings sweep back automatically once a certain speed is reached, like with the F-14. All military planes that have afterburning engines use the burners to take off, and you can't take a swing-wing plane off without the wings fully extended. Jeez, do some research.
@dandoosh90 Correction on that one, the B-1's wings sweep back on pilot command using the wing sweep lever in the cockpit. They actually sweep the wings back a few degrees (not even noticable unless your on the launch cew) before dropping the flaps and slats for take off config. And as for the burner/aug for takeoff, depends on jet and configuration. Smaller jets if configed for air-to-air will just take off in mil just to conserve fuel due to lack of external tanks.
@ShastyMcNastey yes, now I realize that the wings are controlled by the pilot, but those are absolutely burners lit. You wouldn't see that kind of light show if they weren't.
@ShastyMcNastey if they are not afterburners/augmentors, then what are they? flames from the 4 rocket boosters installed on a modded? it's obvious they're on. If they weren't, then we have a problem with flames back there.
@ShastyMcNastey Ahhhh, I got ya. I'm on teh same page with ya now brah!! But it's still funny watching people say there are no such thing as a augmentor since it doesn't say it on a website they seen!! Lmfao
@UnderMediKated They might not be stealth like the B-2, but they are the most feared and the most called on in the FOL compared to the B-2. All they gotta they gotta do is low level pass with all 4 lit up (Show of Force) And them boys start running. Lets see a B-2 do that. Lol. As for a piece a junk, they are a bitch to maintain, but with plans and mods, it will most likely be around longer than the B-2. The 2 is gonna end up like the 117. Haha
I lived near Rancho del Norte ave by near the base - those planes fly over our house too - nice - also kewl were the stealths - but when one of those c-5's or globemaster flew over - let me tell you that do not need an alarm clock
@Danerp001 Wings on the B-1 are swept manually, not automatically. They do not move according to speed, they move according to where the pilot sets them.
@Caretaker109 This was taken just after take-off. The wings sweep in small degree as the aircraft increases speed. If the went from full forward to full swept, the plane would fall out of the sky.
@khFELIX Thank you for the info, didn't know they just took off.... Nice to live next to a military airport:) 8081rt must see a lot of nice planes fly over his house..
@lst1195 canard is an airframe configuration of fixed-wing aircraft in which the front canard surface is smaller than the rear main wing, in contrast to a conventional aircraft where the small horizontal stabilizer is behind the main wing
I think they are called augmentors not afterburners. afterburners are used on turbojet engines and augmentors on low bypass turbofan engines like the GEF101's on the Lancer.

@dandoosh90 not trying to be a hater, but the wing sweep system is not automatic... Both the pilot and copilot have a wing sweep handle to the window side of them. The handles are linked together so if one moves the handle, both move... There is also an electromechanical reset system in case the pilots reverse the handle while the wings are in motion. On a different note, I remember my first month on the job... Our shop chief at the time took me out to demonstrate the wing sweep operation, but

If the afterburners were lit the wings would be swept back and you would know it.

@LEDGMO So the flames in the back behind the engines are part of the aerial light display mod? lol Smart man.
mushmouth1981 1 year ago
@LEDGMO The wings sweep back automatically once a certain speed is reached, like with the F-14. All military planes that have afterburning engines use the burners to take off, and you can't take a swing-wing plane off without the wings fully extended. Jeez, do some research.
dandoosh90 1 year ago
@dandoosh90 Correction on that one, the B-1's wings sweep back on pilot command using the wing sweep lever in the cockpit. They actually sweep the wings back a few degrees (not even noticable unless your on the launch cew) before dropping the flaps and slats for take off config. And as for the burner/aug for takeoff, depends on jet and configuration. Smaller jets if configed for air-to-air will just take off in mil just to conserve fuel due to lack of external tanks.

@dandoosh90 the wings dont automatically sweep back. These also aren't afterburners, and they dont use them to take off unless they actually need it.
ShastyMcNastey 1 year ago
@ShastyMcNastey yes, now I realize that the wings are controlled by the pilot, but those are absolutely burners lit. You wouldn't see that kind of light show if they weren't.

@ShastyMcNastey if they are not afterburners/augmentors, then what are they? flames from the 4 rocket boosters installed on a modded? it's obvious they're on. If they weren't, then we have a problem with flames back there.

@UnderMediKated They might not be stealth like the B-2, but they are the most feared and the most called on in the FOL compared to the B-2. All they gotta they gotta do is low level pass with all 4 lit up (Show of Force) And them boys start running. Lets see a B-2 do that. Lol. As for a piece a junk, they are a bitch to maintain, but with plans and mods, it will most likely be around longer than the B-2. The 2 is gonna end up like the 117. Haha

Those are afterburners, the wings move according to airspeed and they do so automatically.

@Danerp001 Wings on the B-1 are swept manually, not automatically. They do not move according to speed, they move according to where the pilot sets them.

@Caretaker109 This was taken just after take-off. The wings sweep in small degree as the aircraft increases speed. If the went from full forward to full swept, the plane would fall out of the sky.

I think they are called augmentors not afterburners. afterburners are used on turbojet engines and augmentors on low bypass turbofan engines like the GEF101's on the Lancer.
