5: Boeing B-47 Stratojet
Chuck Yeager was used to test out the jet to check out how fast it could go. When he tested it, he was able to break a record for speed with an average of almost 610 miles per hour. A few years later 2,000 of them were built for the military.
Although it didn't have the distance ability and payload, it was an important bomber during the first years of the Cold War.
