    Your footage keeps showing a B-52 cockpit when discussing the B-1B. The B-1B does not have "skylights" above the pilots like the B-52.

    Air on lower altitude is more dense than of higher altitude so it creates more stress on an aircraft's frame and it also reduces fuel efficiency.

    The air close to the ground is more dense than the air at 30,000 feet. The F-111 Aardvark was the grand daddy of the swing-wings and terrain following automation. I've read pilot flying toward a mountain you;d instinctively grab the stick, even though the the terrain guidance system would follow the ground. I believe the B-1b can carry 3 times the load of the B-52, and a third again as much as the B-2 Spirit.

  • @tedspang1945
    @tedspang1945 Рік тому +1

    The B-1 vanes that they're referencing is called the smcs vane (smucs for short). It allowed the B-1 to ride like a Cadillac at higher altitudes. My job was avionics on the B-1 and adjusting the veins required shorting out the accelerometer. When you did that just bumping on the control stick cause the veins to flutter like a hummingbird's wing. It was so fast you couldn't see it. I watch the crew chief get smacked in the head about 20 times before he fell off the ladder, and it only took a split second. He was okay and only got mildly concussed. Good times...

      @rockpadstudios Рік тому

      @@s1988teve Yes but the pulse needs a conductor to transfer it's energy and short wires etc. just don't couple that much of the energy. Most electronics will just reboot / lockup (and need a power cycle) because little energy can couple on it. A plane is long and the pulse can couple huge amounts of energy to the skin and it then can bleed into the electronics. If you pull the circuit breakers you disconnect the main source of the EMP coupled energy. Now if you were right over the explosion in Kansas you might get more but once it starts traveling over ground it begins to dissipate. The longer the wire the more energy that can be transferred to it. Chicken wire cages is all they used during many EMP tests, so it's easy to shield. It doesn't have to be perfect either because a small hole will only let so much energy through. It's much faster than lighting but similar in it's effects.

  • @croweking3961
    @croweking3961 Рік тому +1

    The shaking is not due to speed. If there is no high pressure mechanism with a damaged aero dynamic structure, it is as if the plane will burst like a balloon at high altitude.
