TU-95 Bear

Back


The Tu-95 BEAR was perhaps the most successful bomber produced by the Soviet aviation, enjoying long service in a variety of roles and configurations. It was the only bomber deployed by any country to use turbo-prop engines, which provided extraordinarily long endurance at speeds only slightly less than comparable turbojet-powered heavy bombers.

I doubt it could ever cruise at mach .85...not with props.

contra rotating propellers and the severe power of each engine. they are the most powerful propeller engines ever made.

The Bear actually holds the speed record for propeller-powered airplanes I think...

Slide rule? What's that? That's something that clutters up the GPS! Paper charts? What's a fix????

I thought the B1B-Lancer was the most powerful.
