They look the same to a layman, but they are very different airframes, with a different wing sweep and different load capabilities, among many, many other differences.

of course the b-52 is a completely different airframe. Just wondering what the reasons are you wouldn't be able to convert airliners to be used in that role. It's been done for fire bombing!
