Convair (Model 36) B-36J Peacemaker model airplane

The first intercontinental bomber, the Convair B-36 originated from a specification issued on April 11, 1941, which called for an aircraft with the ability to deliver 10,000 pounds of bombs on European targets from bases in the United States. The first prototype flew on August 8, 1946, and the first production airplane flew on August 28, 1947. The B-36J version had additional outer wing fuel tanks and strengthened landing gear for 410,000 lb. operation, of which 33 airplanes were manufactured, the first airplane flying on September 3.1953, and some aircraft were later modified by the deletion of all but the tail turret armament, reducing the crew complement to nine men. Production of the B-36 continued for almost seven years, the last airplane being delivered to SAC on August 14, 1954. The B-36 was retired finally on February 12, 1959. The B-36J was powered by six 3,800-hp Pratt & Whitney R-4360-53 radial piston engines and four 5,200-lb thrust General Electric J47-GE-19 turbojets. The airplane had a maximum speed of 411 mph at 36,400 feet, cruising speed of 391 mph, service ceiling of 39,900 feet, and a range of 6,800 miles with a 10,000-lb bombload. Airplane armament was 6 retractable and remotely controlled fuselage turrets, each with twin 20-mm M24A1 cannon, and similar weapons in nose and tail, plus a maximum bombload of 86,000 lbs with weight restrictions, or more normally up to 72,000 lbs.
