Rockwell B-1B Lancer model airplane • (with working wings) The first prototype for the B-1 bomber took off on its maiden flight, from Palmdale, California, on December 23, 1974. On June 30, 1977 President Carter canceled the B-1 program in favor of cruise missile development; but the incoming Reagan administration resurrected the program, and on September 4, 1985 the first production B-1B was rolled out at Rockwell's Palmdale facility in California. Several of these aircraft have been lost after catastrophic engine failures and the type has been grounded several times, obscuring the B-1B's qualities. The B-1B is powered by four 30,000 lb thrust General Electric 010-GE-102 turbofans, giving it a maximum speed of Mach 1.25, low level penetration speed of more than 600 mph at 200 ft, and an unrefuelled range of 7,455 miles. Armament: three internal weapon bays for up to 84 500-lb Mk 82 or 24 2,000-lb Mk 84 conventional bombs; alternatively up to eight AGM-86B air-launched cruise missiles, 24 AGM-69 short-range attack missiles, 12 B-28 or B-43 free-fall nuclear bombs, or 24 B-61 or B-83 bombs can be carried; similar weapons can also be carried in eight external stores stations beneath the fuselage. On a more human level, the B-1B has two distinct advantages over the B-52, it has a galley and, more importantly, a toilet. This model is in precision polymer to exacting specifications. It is hand painted, and comes fully assembled with removable desk stand. Model
