Boeing B-52

Stratolaunch conducted a second captive carry of the company’s Talon TA-1 hypersonic test vehicle on Feb. 24.

The U.S. Air Force is looking for a company able to integrate the upcoming nuclear Long-Range Stand Off cruise missile on the B-52.

A People’s Liberation Army Air Force J-11 flew within 10 ft. of a U.S. Air Force B-52 in the South China Sea this week.

Rolls-Royce is poised to begin a third phase of ground tests with a pair of dual-podded F130 turbofans for the U.S. Air Force’s B-52J re-engining program.

Fifteen years after a B-52 standoff jammers idea was shelved, the venerable bomber will audition for a role as a primary airborne electronic attack platform.

The U.S. Air Force launched an All-Up-Round AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon in a recent test but is tight-lipped about whether objectives were met.

The service is evaluating the Boeing-developed Load Adaptable Modular (LAM) pylon.

The House Armed Services Committee passed its fiscal 2024 defense policy bill on June 21.

The first B-52 has arrived at a Boeing modification facility to kick off the developmental testing phase of the $2.8 billion radar modernization program.

Several upgrades are making the B-52 relevant for the 2030s and beyond, but they require sweeping changes to internal structures and electronics.

The test on March 13 of the Lockheed Martin AGM-183 Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) “met several objectives,” but not all.

Initial results have been “very positive,” according to the engine maker, which is conducting the work at its test facility at NASA's Stennis Space Center.

Several key U.S. Air Force aircraft saw their mission-capable rates drop in fiscal 2022 compared to the prior year.
