The B2, F117A, B1-B and the SR-71 design still blow my mind today. I was but a wee nipper when the aircraft were unveiled (SR-71) and they just look so incredible to this day. The amazing thing is, to the engineers and designers, when these aircraft enter service, they're immediately old news as the next gen is already in development.

Let me tell you why the B-2 is my forever favorite military plane. When I was 13 my father was a Chaplin at Whiteman AFB. He had a buddy that ran the flight simulator for the B-2 training. My younger brother and I were fortunate enough to be allowed to "fly" in this gigantic room-sized box on a hydraulic platform. The trainer boarded with each of us one at a time. Sitting at the pilot seat, I got to taxi to the runway, fly a takeoff, refuel off a KC-10, bombing of Whiteman AFB (no kidding lol), and finally a landing. Talk about a unique childhood experience. Now, post 9/11, I think it would be tough to have something like that happen for another couple lucky kids.

B2 was the first stealth plane to be designed with the benefit of modern computers. The older mainframes they used for the F117 weren't powerful enough to model curved surfaces, so they were forced to use flat angled facets instead. In comparison, the B2 is so astonishingly smooth it looks like they hand shaped it out of wet modeling clay. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to machine all those curved panels so they perfectly matched with no gaps big enough for a radar beam to fit into. Your $1 billion at work, I suppose.

They’re docks, the jet isn’t designed to be left out in the elements all day every day. Plus consider that while in a dock the aircraft is secured in its own “Vault” and as long as the doors remain closed/locked there isn’t a need to have a “Babysitter” to stick with the jet. Not to mention every dock is built to streamline any maintenance (we averaged about 20 man hours per flight hours during my time) with external “pit” power and cooling air for powerups w/o engines- as well as piping to make refueling easier by having a way to refuel directly from within the dock.

Everything I say is in the public domain. The B2 at the museum is a test article and never had the ability to fly. It was used in destructive testing. The external mend plates are there to hold the broken off wing in place. The only part of the test article that flew is the "Fire and Ice" landing gear door. It was removed after hot and cold testing for analysis and given to the museum separately from the test article. Many parts of the aircraft were built at the museum as the test article did not come with all the parts. The heat tiles for the engine are represented by paint applied by the museum. Anyone who had seen a B2 up close will see the differences between the museum parts and the real thing. The docents will tell you which items are museum built. While I don't know this for sure I suspect that the following are museum built: -Air speed measurement device -cockpit and it's windshield -leading edge (which isn't the same shape as the real thing) -Radar absorbing paint is simulated with normal paint As to the cost, if one takes the whole program cost and divides by the number of flying aircraft built, your number is about correct. The cost to build one more was about $500million since all the research and tooling costs were done. The reason for the high program cost is that the development program included as much development as had been performed since the Wright Brothers. Except for some fastners inside and some other small items inside everything was new, except the RAM which had been developed earlier, but on the B2 is improved. On the high maintenance cost , Northrop developed a corn husk blasting method to remove RAM and recycle it. Northrop also developed the 1st system that used computer aided design and no paper blue prints. Northrop also used computer modeling of radar reflections that advanced that practice significantly. The B2 had when built the most advanced fly by wire system in the world. This overcame the problems of bombing platform stability attributed to the YB-49. A great deal of effort went into the buried engines as it was a conflict between radar stealth and getting enough air to the engines.

@@EstorilEm the leading edge is undoubtedly not made from the same materials as the real thing. Another issue for the museum substitute is how to attach the fake leading edge as the test article probably didn't come with the the fastening points. The museum doesn't have an unlimited budget to fabricate the very large part. If I had an unlimited budget, I would make the fake out of balsa wood and simply carve it shape. Then the correct paint color would make it look good. But the museum did a fantastic job of preserving important history. I was also surprised (and appreciated) that I could walk up to the test article at the museum. It is a lot closer than ever got at Northrop with the flying B2 Spirts.

My grandfather (who actually turned 91 years old today) built this plane in complete secrecy. He mentioned there were to be a lot of B-2's built, but when the plan was changed to build less, the workers had to become airforce certified to work on multiple components since they would no longer be hiring more workers. The security clearance meant that not many people would have the privilege to build it, let alone ever speak of it. He also helped build the B-1. He gave me more information, but considering the secrecy, I'll hesitate to mention anything further.

Seeing these currently advanced aircraft always makes me wonder what's currently flying that we don't know about yet. We don't know of any fully classified aircraft that were developed after then F22 in the 90's. Of course since the 90's computing and resulting materials and manufacturing technology accelerated exponentially and made possible to design and fly what may be close close to unimaginable. We can safely bet on hypersonic flight at least, and even better stealth. There were glimpses of chrome like F22s being tested, and considering electo color changing paint is available for cars, it's possible close to visible invisible may be flying as well.

I began working on ship One as an Inspector and became a Quality Assurance/Quality Engineering Manager shortly thereafter until the end of the program, including Mods. A real treat to work on. Because this is not a flight article, the main landing gear doors are missing their planform-aligned titanium blade seals. But you knew that right? There's a lot more TSAR Engineering features within the exhaust i.e., "Ejector Fairings", which the public will never know about, and I'm not talking. Even though a good part of these secrets within the ejector fairing area, were sold to China, and the traitor who sold them, a long time Northrop Engineer is sitting in prison for the rest of his life, as a result of selling top secret information! Let him (Noshir S. Gowadia) rot in hell! 🔥

“Just like” is a pretty big overstatement lol They are both flying wings powered by jet engines that have tricycle landing gear. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Jack Northrop was developing flying wings like the N-1M before the Germans did ;)

What’s even more amazing is that Jack Northrup had flying wing designs in the 1930s. What a coincidence that this company called Northrup later made flying wings…
