"Ken Duffey" wrote descendant of the Boeing B-29 !! it is my understanding all modern passenger airframes are based on the design of the B29 That would be a bit far fetched. All modern passenger airframes are swept wing? Which large aircraft had that first? (I'm thinking B-47, but I'm probably wrong). All modern passenger airframes have the fuselage on top of the wings, and not in the middle (ala B-29). The Bear bomber is a utilitarian delivery machine, designed for high-speed over tonnage. It was/is probably one of the best bombers ever designed by any aircraft company. We should have bought them in 1991 and phased-out the B-52! :-) A Bear-H is probably about the best cruise-missile platform there is. We could fly cruise-missile missions from the east coast to Iraq and back, with no air refueling in a Bear-H (24 hour endurance unrefueled).
