Also one-wings are notoriously hard to fly and B-52’s are actively supporting the pilot (via computers) to even make it operational for a human, if I don’t misremember. So maybe that failed?
Having passive assistance that couldn’t fail would actually be a great thing an bring one-wing designs into the commercial aviation.
No. Flying fortress are the old old bomber from early cold war. They flew a lot in Vietnam. Slow slow planes.
They also leave a black streak across the sky from the exhaust.
B1B is supersonic with the moving wings
B2 is subsonic one wing

The B52 is the stratofortress. That might have been the source of confusion.
