The B-1B Lancer is a US four-engine bomber with variable-sweep wings. Developed by Rockwell and subsequently supported by Boeing, it serves in the conventional long-range strike role and carries weapons in internal bays.
A single wingspan value is omitted because wing sweep changes the span. JASSM and LRASM refer to documented later weapons integration.

Historical profile
The B-1B entered operational service in 1986 following the earlier B-1A development programme. Its nuclear mission was later removed, and subsequent upgrades expanded conventional precision-strike and maritime-strike capabilities.
