"Admin" wrote: The fact remains that the B-1B is not designed for a 90 degree vertical unless you like smacking the ground and spreading yourself over a country mile. Don't let's get all silly here...we're talking generalities and I think most posters here seem to think (me too) that any a/c can go vertical if even for a short time. There may be some with particular reasons why they can't but in general they all can. This makes sense to me. And as Judge Judy says "If it makes sense to me then it's true!" The B52 wasn't designed for low level penetration operations. But then those SAC crews must have been wrong all those years for practicing it.... Just what do you know about the B-52? You are an Army Guard. Let me introduce another of the us.military.army 404k00ks. Hmm, let me see. Big airplane, many engine. Much noise. Am I wrong yet ? Was I wrong with my other posting ? That's the first thing you have said that was truthful. That is about the scope an Army Guard has about a B-1. |

admin- Power to weight.
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 477,000 pounds (216,634 kilograms) Weight: Empty, approximately 190,000 pounds (86,183 kilograms) Thrust: 30,000-plus pounds with afterburner, BRBR Empty weight still exceeds the engine thrust BRBR Just go faster before you pull up. With your numbers, no A/C could do a loop, and of course many do. In the F-4, about 36,000 pounds of thrust in A/B, in an A/C that weighed about 34,000 pounds empty but did loops and straight ups and downs all the time, weighing 50,000 pounds or so.

admin- How about structural. As I said, it has to fly. Fighters and Missiles
go straight up. The B-1 is Fuge BRBR Okay, where are all the SAC guys...can a B-1B do a loop? P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |

admin- You assume incorrectly. The fact remains that the B-1B is not
designed for a 90 degree vertical unless you like smacking the ground and spreading yourself over a country mile. BRBR Doesn't that thing do over the shoulder nuke deliveries? Pull up, throw nuke out, continue over the top, 1/2 cuban 8 type thing, accel and run like hell??? I'll bet it does... P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.)

According to the story, all that mass was going *supersonic*, FFS. You don't lose that amount of inertia in the blink of an eye ..... No but going completely vertical at the blink of an eye, you do lose your wings. WTF does that mean?...you didn't go to 60 degrees instantly did you?...why must you go to 90 instantly?... I just like to have two good wings on any AC I happen to be on at the time. There is enough escapes on the B-1 but not on all AC. But I guess we need to be overtaxing our Airframes on a daily basis so we can test them out once in awhile. Well, there you go... -- -Gord. |

Two utterly different issues.
1. BRAC. Someone posted a question. I posted a pretty good reply and hoped to stir some interest. Result: NADA. We can run a thread for days about bull****, but a pretty significant issue that will effect many individuals and military readiness .... nada. Sigh. 2. Shimano. Heard they've run Branford Bike out of the Shimano distribution business. Hmmm. R / John X Still alive (till BRAC 2005) in rural MS |
