      There was information that the B-52 plane turned out in a rather simple way:
      they took the Boeing B-47 Stratojet bomber, and simply increased its size to the desired one. It was written that usually this approach is rarely successful, but in the case of the B-52, everything turned out to be in place.

    The Tu-16 is still better, but if the Tu-95 was well modernized, then they would fly around the potential enemy for days and make them happy!

      Tu-16 is generally a classic of Soviet aviation, confirmation of this is the Chinese long-range aviation .. "Badger" is still in service soldier

      What does Tu-16 have to do with it? These are different classes of machines. In that case, my laptop is even better!

      C'mon .. The Tu-16 is no match for the B-52, neither in range, nor in the range of ammunition used, nor in combat load. A much smaller weight category.

    Wrote an article in the 60 of the XX century? Not a single photo of a real plane, only drawings!

    This article is about the design stages of an airplane, not its manufacturing. What photos can be in this case, only drawings of projects.
    And the content is interesting, it shows how Americans In those days they worked, and they worked for the long term. Previously, in the US, the military squeezed what they wanted out of companies, now companies squeeze the money they want out of the military.

      I agree. But a couple of photos at the end of the article would not hurt. So to say, for comparison smile

    The Boeing Model 462 concept outwardly resembles our Il-18. Beautiful car.

    Not at all nitpicking, but much attention was paid to the initial stage, from which there was practically nothing left, and the stage with turbojet engines, quite interesting from the technical side, was described rather briefly and dryly. But the wing, engines, tail unit, and the fuselage, as I understand it, have changed. The plane has become completely different.
    I saw him alive on the MAX, the legend of the machine left a very serious imprint on the perception. Interestingly, from the wing root (from the leading edge), a small corrugation along the fuselage skin went down and down the fuselage - apparently, the years of operation affected ...

    The author somehow abruptly finished. And from afar he began ... Well, that’s not from Leonardo da Vinci laughing
    Is this a new feature so write articles? It’s enough to start, and then will they finish the topic in kamenty with a texture themselves? )))
