B-52H Stratofortress Boeing History:
The B-52H Stratofortress, manufactured by Boeing, is a
strategic bomber capable of supporting large-scale, global
missions in a nuclear or a conventional role. The B-52H plays an
important role in these specialized missions until 2035. It had
its first flight in April 1952. The B-52H Stratofortress
entered service in 1961 and 104 were built. The last was
delivered in 1962; however, its service life is expected to
continue beyond the year 2030, due to extensive system and
structural upgrades.
The B-52H, a B-52 variant, is a very large aircraft, with a
length of 159ft 4in and a take-off weight of 488,000lb. The
all-metal skin bears a high proportion of the flight loading.
When on the ground, the surface of the aircraft on the forward
section of the fuselage has a wrinkled appearance. The skin
expands and becomes smooth as the crew compartment is
pressurised when the aircraft gains altitude.
Later on in the decade, the B-52H was fitted to carry the new
"Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)" and "Joint Stand-Off
Weapon (JSOW)" guided glide bombs. These weapons use the "Global
Positioning System (GPS)" satellite constellation to zero in on
target coordinates. Use of the JDAM and other GPS weapons was
enabled by yet another Buff avionics upgrade, the "Conventional
Enhancement Modification (CEM)" program, which was begun in
1994.
