The Rockwell (now Boeing) B-1B Lancer is a strategic bomber of the United States Air Force USAF. Although it was designed as a nuclear bomber, the B-1 can only carry conventional weapons since 1994. He is considered as the successor to the old Boeing B-52 and is considered capable to perform intercontinental missions without refueling and to penetrate advanced enemy anti-aircraft defenses.
The crew consists of four persons: two pilots and two system operators.
With its swing-wing design and turbofan engines, the Lancer not only has a long range but can reach very high speeds at treetop height. Also, due to a low radar cross-section and a large number of electronic countermeasures integrated into the AN/ALQ 161A ECM package, the aircraft has a very high survival rate.
There were 100 aircraft built of which 66 are still operational. Based on the average number of flight hours, it is estimated that these aircraft will reach the end of their operational career around 2038.
