Talk:2037 bomber controversy

Attempted copy edit

I attempted a copy edit, but left a confusing tag in the "development" section. That section needs to be re-written because someone unfamiliar with the sources would be confused by it. Please leave a message at my talk page if you need me to explain why it is confusing. Cheers! -Samuel Tan 09:29, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Will there ever be a new supersonic bomber by the 2030s?

There is no reason to believe that a new manned supersonic bomber will ever enter service in the 2030s. It is best to merge this article with New Generation Bomber (unless otherwise noted). 72.194.120.176 (talk) 04:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC) Vahe Demirjian

NO. Read up! Here 1, Here 2 The USAF had always wanted a heavy bomber since a decade. Only in recent years the USAF realized it cannot wait any longer and initiated the program for an "interim" bomber. So the Next Generation Bomber became two bombers, the interim is called Long Range Strike-Bomber (LRS-B) and the wanted heavy bomber the 2037-bomber. Perhaps cost and versatility of the LRS-B may change plans but that's still a decade+ from now. For the time being this should be kept separated to minimize confusion. As to being supersonic it's likely lowest supersonic possible (Mach 1.2-1.25), and not supercruise (Mach 1.5-1.8). Most modern aircraft airframes could do this if they had the power. It's not impossible just not always practical. Mightyname (talk) 18:11, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

2037 bomber program → 2037 bomber controversy – I wrote much of this travesty of an article. Where does "2037 bomber program" come from? There was never a plan to start developing a bomber (or bomber-like "capability" as the 1999 roadmap author called it) in 1999, much less a funded program of record. The whole point of the 1999 bomber roadmap was that the single author concluded that the Air Force should table development of a new bomber until 2013, at which point it could start defining requirements. This was an asinine idea, and was immediately contradicted in the 2001 QDR and the 2001 revised bomber roadmap. Schierbecker (talk) 06:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
