I thought the speed of the B model was limited due to the inlet design ?
Changing the engines wont change that I would have thought. What did they
have in mind, 60000 lb Kutzenovs off the blackjack ? Or something clever
with inlet redesign and engines from the F22 ?

They're going to use the design features that allowed the Me 262 to
exceed Mach 1. ;-)
