The early 1930s witnessed an unprecedented surge in aviation innovation. In this era of skyward dreams, the Boeing XB-15 bomber soared into existence. Conceived by the United States Army Air Corps, this giant became a symbol of possibility in both military and commercial aviation.
The XB-15 was Boeing’s answer to a challenge: create a long-range bomber like no other. With its breathtaking wingspan, powerful array of engines, and revolutionary focus on crew comfort, this aircraft was sculpted for the heavens.
Despite its monumental role in the evolution of ’Super Bombers,’ the XB-15’s tale often remains overshadowed, its contributions to aviation history underappreciated. But, more than just a feat of engineering, the XB-15 was a harbinger of change. Its influence was profound, echoing through World War 2 and into the development of commercial aviation. The design principles and innovations introduced by this aircraft laid the groundwork for the iconic B-17 Flying Fortress and reshaped the future of air travel.
