The B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, heavy bomber that can perform a variety of missions. The attacker is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes up to 50,000 feet (15,166.6 meters). You can carry nuclear or conventional ordnance with precision guided capability worldwide precision navigation.
The B-52 was originally designed for high altitude weapons delivery on target. Like the B-47, however, increased the effectiveness of enemy air defense requires the development of low altitude penetration tactics for high-speed B-52. Again, as the B-47, B-52 has had its share of structural problems of fatigue. To cure these problems, many modifications have been made to the aircraft during his long career.
A total of 744 B-52s were built with the latest, a B-52H, delivered in October 1962. Only the H model is still in the Air Force inventory and all are assigned to Air Combat Command. The first of 102 B-52H was delivered to Strategic Air Command in May 1961. The H model can carry up to 20 air launched cruise missiles.
