Boeing B-47 Stratojet, U.S. Air Force, Tail No. 32104, Side Profile on Ramp
Shown here in profile, this Boeing B-47 Stratojet, tail number 32104, displays the sleek, swept-wing design that gave Strategic Air Command a fast, high-altitude jet bomber during the 1950s. The B-47's innovative podded engine layout and bicycle landing gear configuration influenced the design of jet aircraft for decades to come, and the type served as both an operational bomber and a testbed for numerous research and development programs.
