EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic moment when the Boeing B-47E Stratojet, with the registration number 53-2104, underwent modifications to test the cutting-edge General Electric TF34 turbofan engine. The Stratojet, a four-engine propeller-driven bomber produced by Boeing, was a significant aircraft during the Cold War era. However, as the jet age dawned, the need for more efficient and powerful engines became increasingly apparent. In this image, we see the B-47E, a veteran of the United States Air Force, transformed with the addition of the TF34 turbofans. The combination of the vintage bomber and the modern engine represented a bold step towards the future of aviation. The first flight with the new setup took place on 21 January 1971, marking a pivotal moment in the history of both Boeing and General Electric. The successful test flight demonstrated the potential of turbofan engines for military aircraft, paving the way for the eventual retirement of propeller-driven bombers. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aerospace engineers and their relentless pursuit of progress in the realm of aviation technology.
