Which plane had a longer wing span, the B-36 or B-52?
The B-36 has the larger wing span. The Convair B36 Peacemaker is said to be the very first bomber that had intercontinental range and was also the first thermonuclear weapon delivery vehicle. The Peacemaker was the largest combat aircraft ever built. Its 230 foot wingspan is almost fifty percent longer than that of the huge B-52 that replaced it. The B-36 was one of America’s major deterrents to violence by a prospective adversary for eight years.
