近日，外媒CNET記者帶領我們走進了在位於丹佛的Wings Over the Rockies航空航天%ignore_a_1%展出的B-1 Lancer。這位記者表示，儘管他有參觀過世界各地的航空博物館參觀過但此前從來沒有親眼看過B-1 Lancer。不僅如此，這還是一架非常罕見的B-1A–其擁有2.2馬赫的速度。

據了解，B-1背後的想法是將B-52的有效載荷和B-58的速度結合成一架飛機，這樣美國空軍就可以讓后兩者都退役。
博物館里的型號為B-1A，它是美國上世紀70年代首次試飛的四架原型機之一。據悉，這架飛機有150英尺長，幾乎跟B-52或767-200一樣長。它有三個巨大的炸彈艙，當然還有那些標誌性的可移動機翼。
實際上B-1A並不是特別成功。它的投入遠遠超過預算，其設計的作用很快被更快更便宜的巡航導彈完成，還有當時的新型飛機MiG-25。理論上，MiG-25可以趕上B-1，這使得轟炸機的速度無關緊要–其在較低的速度下擁有更長的射程。1977年，吉米·卡特總統取消了這個項目。
然而製造商Rockwell沒有退縮並繼續進行測試。1982年，里根政府訂購了一種略有不同的B-1轟炸機。改進型B-1B總體最高速度較低（1.25馬赫），但亞音速最高速度較高。之後，它被改造成一架低空高速轟炸機。它成功地發揮了這一作用：它是空軍至今仍在使用的三架轟炸機之一。另外兩款是70多年前的B-52和B-2 Spirit隱形轟炸機，這些都是在卡特啟動的先進技術轟炸機(Advanced Technology Bomber )項目中開始的。儘管當時還不清楚，但B-2可能是他取消最初B-1計劃的原因之一。
大多數B-1B轟炸機仍在飛行。內布拉斯加州阿什蘭的戰略空軍司令部博物館(Strategic Air Command Museum)里只有一架B-1A倖存下來。

B-1A雖然是Wings Over the Rockies皇冠上的寶石，但它並不是唯一的寶石。那裡還有F-111和F-14，它們也都有自己的可變翼魅力。
下面就讓我們欣賞記者在博物館現場帶來的照片吧！
