B-1R video

Could Boeing's Enclosed Weapons Pod (EWP) proposed for the Advanced Super Hornet be integrated with the B-1B's / B-1R's external hardpoints?

Well, if Boeing cannot sell a new bomber, it will try to make money by rebuilding an old one. I wonder if the R really means "Refurb" or "Retrofit". Is the B-1R meant to be a replacement for the F-111 Aardvark?

The "R" stands for "regional".
Even the concept from bagera3005 has a V-Tail, how did we not noticed that item before?! :-[

Is that a gun under the nose?? Love it! After all, a warplane without a gun is a lot like Paris Hilton: Nice to look at, but ultimately quite useless ;D

I have one questions about this concept: how the heck will the gun even work when it takes up the same spot as the Lancer's nose gear? And don't get me started on how the ammo feed will work for such an arrangement.

It's just fan art, don't waste time worrying about it.
