  • Summary

  • In Episode 2 of the Supersonic Bone ‘Roger’ and ‘Prime Time’ discuss the requirements and development of the B-1A. Conceived as a replacement for the 1950’s designed B-52, the requirements of the B-1A expanded on a wide range of capabilities and operations. Our hosts discuss the technological leap that saw the shift of the prime contractor from being primarily an airframe manufacturer to system integrator and the creation of a Joint Test Force approach that eliminated redundancy, reduced cost, and sped testing. They also explore the environment in the late 70’s that led to the cancelation of the B-1A bomber, and the aftermath that kept the B-1 program alive.
