I think the range of the B-1B is supposed to be classified, but does
anyone have any educated guesses?

According to the "B-1B Factbook" by Rockwell International, the range is
bestween 4425NM and 9466NM depending on payload, mission profile and tanker
support. 4425NM is for at ACM standoff mission, all at high level, with 16
ACM and no tanker support. The 9466NM is for a conventional mission with a
High-Low-High profile and 56 Mk-82 and KC-10 tanker support.

The factbook can be found on the B-1 page on www.fas.org.

With standard fuel load, according to:

"International Directory of Military Aircraft 2002/2003"- 6,475 NM*

"Pocket Guide to Military Aircraft"- 7,455 miles

"Janes Recognition Guide" (latest edition)- 6,475 NM

"Aircraft of the World Complete Guide"- 7,239 miles

"Directory of Military Aircraft of the World"- 7,455 miles



*Int. NM= 1.150779 statue miles= 7,451 miles

I think it is safe to say that the 7,455 miles figure is correct.
