Looks like something they'd use to start jets with?

Actually I haven't a clue...

What is the most obvious difference in a B-52H compared to earlier models?

Looks to me like the J-58 start cart for the SR-71. Used two Buick V-8 engines

There were two. TF33 engines is the only one left. It used to be that they had a Vulcan Canon as opposed to 4 .50s too.

Sticking with the B-52 theme. What was the NB-52E, and what did it do that made it interesting?

Remote controlled or something like that...been a while since I read about it.

The NB-52E was kept by Boeing, and added canards and a Load Alleviation and Mode Stabilization system. On one test flight it flew 10 knots past the never exceed speed with no problems, because the system removed so much load from the airframe. Data from the tests eventually was used in fly by wire systems.

In terms of propulsion,how many hybrid aircraft can you name? Only one comes to mind immediately for me,but there might be others.

Come on guys,hybrid propelled aeroplanes can't be that difficult can it?
