The Boeing B1-R, is a proposed upgrade of the B1-B that would use 4 F-119s engines instead of the current GE-F101 engine. With the change of engine hardware the B1-R would be able to super cruise and achieve maximum speeds of Mach 2.2. The downside of this “small” change would be that the range of the aircraft would be reduced by 20%, not a small number for the type of missions that the plane would go on this would not matter much. Overall this change would be great for the aircraft and put the B1-R in a class of its on.
