[QUOTE="nich018, post: 3256170, member: 8765"] Boeing does not specify any particular engine in its presentation, but says that installing a modern type – almost assuredly a[COLOR=#000012] high bypass turbofan[/COLOR] of some kind – would give the B-52, [B]40 percent more flying time with the same fuel load and that missions that presently require three tankers would only need two after the upgrades[/B]. In addition, the new jets would be quieter and more environmentally friendly over the existing Pratt & Whitney TF33, which have powered the H-models since they first entered service in 1961. [/QUOTE]
