From the online Los Angeles Times, Oct. 8, 2003:

"The Air Force also is considering putting new engines on the B-1 to
double the speed of what is already one of the fastest bombers in the

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. ;-)
