> the B52 has 6 engines now i believe, it started with 8

B-52G models use 8 Pratt & Whitney J57-P-43WB turbojets with
11,200 lbs thrust (dry) or 13,750 lbs thrust (water injection).
Earlier models used other J57 variants from -1W, -19W, etc.

B-52H models use 8 Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-3 (or -103) turbofan
engines with 17,000 lbs thrust each.  The turbofan is more fuel
efficient.

But all B-52 models have always used 8 engines.
