Talk:B-29 Superfortress

Still intact after being underwater for 3 centuries?
Anybody who knows anything about the Titanic realizes that it's already crumbling to dust after only a century of being underwater. Moreover, assuming that it somehow could survive, what's stopping it from being overridden by algae and other sea life? 184.98.216.172 08:28, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * The key difference here is that the Titanic was made with much less advanced technology and materials, lay far deeper than the B-29 and to cap it all off, sank in salt waters (and salt is extremely corrosive). The B-29, by comparison, did not break apart, sunk to a relatively shallow depth and in fresh water to boot. It's still in a bad shape, but the Boomers have the museum B-29 to help them fix the plane. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 08:53, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Fuel
I have often wondered this about many of the working vehicles in the Fallout games: where does the fuel come from? During the Resource Wars, mankind was fighting over the last few drops of oil on Earth, so does anyone mind explaing to me how, two centuries later, an uncivilised tribe manages to find enough oil to fuel a B-29 Superfortress? --Wiseman of the Wastes 11:51, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Calling the Boomers uncivilized is like saying "Please zero in about 40 155mm shells on the top of my head". :P
 * Nothing explains whether the B-29 is still using oil or whether the museum model instructed the Boomers in how to make it use a fusion reactor. Nellis was a major military installation, so there would probably still be some crude oil somewhere. Or biofuel; they have enough corn. Nitty Tok. 12:00, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Is this the "large unidentified aircraft seen circling the skies above the New Vegas Strip" mentioned by Mr. New Vegas? Jazzlizard 03:42, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
