How B-52 Bombers Fly 47 Hours Without Landing | WION Podcast

Two B-52H bombers once remained airborne for an astonishing 47.2 hours while completing a 20,000-mile journey around the world. The aircraft carried out a precisely timed training strike in Kuwait before continuing across three oceans and more than a dozen countries. Five complex mid-air refuelling operations allowed the bombers to remain airborne despite their limited internal fuel capacity. Inside the cramped aircraft, exhausted crew members slept in temporary hammocks and ejection seats while managing critical flight systems. Discover how this historic mission demonstrated the B-52’s unmatched endurance and why modern F130 engines could keep it flying into the 2050s.
