On that note, here is your reminded that the USA built a strategic bomber with six backwards-facing propellers in addition to four jet engines, called the Peacemaker.

Look at those chemtrails go!

Kinda sad how it was overshadowed by the B-29 and B-52 since it was never used in war. Guess it lived up to its name.

Interesting to see them next to each other like that. I always thought the Lancer was smaller, for some reason (probably because it looks more fighter-ish than the other two).

Yeah, the scale seems weird at first but I have never actually seen these airframes next to each other and it makes sense they would be of comparable sizes.

for me it was the b-2- I always thought it was much smaller. Maybe bc I always thought of it as a slightly bigger b-117

I also would've guessed the B-2 was smaller than the B-52 (while still being larger than the B-1).

Is the airplane on the bottom left real?

See also the Tu-22M and the Tu-160 for similar Soviet variable-sweep wing strategic bombers.

The sexiest plane that isn't a VARK.
