Schr75 -> B61 loadout on a B-2 (3/5/2021 6:23:55 PM)
Hi I was reading through the file gunner98 shared the other day https://www.airforcemag.com/app/uploads/2020/06/Weapons.pdf and I was wondering. Why can the B-2 carry 16 B61-7 and -12, and 16 B83, but only 8 B61-11? As far as I can tell, all B61 mods are more or less identical regarding weight and dimensions. So what am I missing?

The Mod 11 has increased total diameter because of the tail flare, maybe that's making it impossible to fit more than 4 on each rotary drum: [image]https://i.imgur.com/HZL377V.png[/image]

Now that's what I would call a visually perfect explanation as to why.....<G> Doug

From Wiki B61 nuclear bomb page 'The original B61-0 weapon was 141.6 inches (3.60 m) long, with a diameter of 13.3 inches (340 mm) and a basic weight of 715 pounds (324 kg) with most later weapons having approximately the same dimensions and weight, except for the Mod 11 version which has a weight of approximately 1,200 pounds (540 kg).' Regards

Hi guys Thanks for the answers. I didn“t know about the flare on the mod 11, but it makes perfect sense that you could only fit four on each rotary launcher. @trevor999. I missed that part on the wiki, but the weight isn“t the issue here. The B83 weights 1100kg and the B2 can carry 16 of these. It have a maximum official payload of 18000kg, so it can easily carry the weight of 16 mod 11“s. But thanks for the input. I learned something new and that“s always a good thing[:)] Sųren
