The Boeing B-47 Stratojet is an American medium-range strategic bomber in a mid-wing design, powered by six jet engines, capable of reaching subsonic speeds. Its main task was to penetrate the airspace of the USSR and drop nuclear bombs on objects located there. The prototype's first flight took place in December 1947, and introduction into service began in the summer of 1951. In the 1950s, the B-47 was the basic strategic strike force of the USAAF in a hypothetical clash with the Soviet Union. During serial production, 2,040 units of all versions of the aircraft were produced, the largest of which were version E. The B-47 Stratojet was finally withdrawn from service in 1966.
