USAF B-2 Spirit at RAAF Base Amberley - raw footage

[@brin57]

I grew up right next to RAAF Base Townsville. We had the Neptunes, Mirages, Caribou and Hercules. Then came the F111's . But the highlight I remember is when the RAF brought the Vulcan for a visit at one of the annual air shows. We'd sit on the roof of the house for a ringside seat. Loudest damn thing I've ever heard, and sheer overwhelming awesomeness. I guess this one is comparable in the modern era. Beautiful aircraft.

[@mitseraffej5812]

@@hdmccart6735 The early flying wing designs in the late 1940s were not successful because of their inherent instability. Also do you recall the Airbus that the crew busted the vertical stabiliser off shortly after takeoff with very aggressive rudder inputs when they encountered wake turbulence coming out of one of the New York airports. It crashed. Once directional stability is lost in a swept wing airplane it becomes very difficult to fly. There was a B52 that managed though, so not impossible.

[@unfurling3129]

@Mit Seraffej That B-52 had vertical surfaces in the form of some of the tail, the body and the rear undercarriage doors. It was just enough.

Really need the US and Australia to strengthen more military ties from now on. The unfolding events in the Solomon Islands (by a country with expansionist intentions) and also possibly their incorporating Fiji into their scheme of influence should be a major concern. The Japanese had the same ambitions in 1941-1942 and it was a war of attrition culminating with Guadalcanal. Now more then ever we must maintain relations going forward. Here in the US we will always stand beside you.

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day RAAF, What a totally awesome aircraft. On first glance it seems to break all the rules of aerodynamics; no fuselage or horizontal stabiliser are the biggest clues. Many people would be surprised to learn that the B-2B was directly inspired by the pioneering work of American aircraft designer/manufacturer, Jack Northrop. The USAAF then the USAF were closely involved with Northrop's original concept for his 'Flying Wing'. Its first prototype was twin push-prop 1/3 scale, concept testing aircraft first flown in 1942, from designs that Jack Northrop had conceived in 1929. This scaled-down version flew successfully and several were ordered to train pilots in this unconventional way of flying. Full scale, push-propellor Flying Wings were ordered by the Air Force. Immediately Jack Northrop began research into a turbojet variant. Which swiftly produced prototypes that had successful test flights. The propellor and jet variants were tested by the USAF’s top test pilots and all were impressed by their flight characteristics. One must remember that the Flying Wing came long before on-board computers. Flying these aircraft was not easy but it had proven to be possible. Then some mysterious mishaps and a couple of crashes occurred. At the time, no one could come up with hard evidence of the causes for some of these events. Mr Northrop, just before he died, in 1981, revealed that he had refused a government order to merge with the Convair Corp. and that he knew his Flying Wing had been the victim of commercial/political sabotage. Suddenly, all production of the Flying Wing was halted; portable furnaces arrived at Northrop’s factory where all the Flying Wings were broken up and melted into ingots under Air Force supervision. The government denied all requests for one Flying Wing to be sent to the Air Force museum. An excellent documentary on Jack Northrop and his Flying Wing; ‘This Wing Will Fly’ can be seen on KZbin. It’s well worth a look especially for the scene where the frail Mr Northrop is shown a prototype model of the B-2 bomber. It’s extremely moving to see Jack Northrop’s official vindication, especially as the USAF handed over Northrop’s original test flight data which proved invaluable in the creation of the B-2. Thank you, RAAF, for this impressive video. Cheers, BH, ex-RAAF P.S. Many think that Northrop’s Flying Wing was ‘copied’ from the German, Horten Brothers’ Ho 229. It is more likely that the Horten’s had access to Northrop’s Flying Wing details that were openly published before WW2. Besides, the Ho 229 more closely resembles a ‘Vulcan-type’ of engine configuration. The Ho 229 was a clever design but one also plagued with engineering, logistical problems as well as Nazi interference. After tests with jet engines attached to prototype glider airframes, full production was ordered but the Allies were already at the Rhine river, poised to attack Berlin. Only three Ho 229s were finished; one was taken to Farnborough and then to the US at war’s end, the others were destroyed to keep them from the Soviets. ;)

[@68Boca]

That's quite a speech for YT comment. Almost like it was prepared?? All good, except for the P.S. ...... yeah, Nah! Taking your theory to the extreme, the Flying Wing concept was actually invented in 1908. The British D.4... long before good ol' Jack.

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

I was under the impression it was only computer controlled flaps that made the Flying Wing concept controllable. That said, test pilots in the early days did have sets of big brass balls that allowed them to fly some flat out dangerous machines. I think the Jaguar was Grumman's first attempt a a swing wing fighter for the Navy. One of its Test Pilots was asked what was wrong with it after a couple of pilots died in accidents. His response; "The Cockpit was very difficult to get into. They should have made it impossible'. I always thought that was very dry humour from an American. Forgive me, but that line sounds more like it would come from a Brit.

​@@curtisjones4004 G'day Curtis, Oh, you're too kind. It was nothing, really. I had parents who saw to it that I could read and write and my thanks goes to the RAAF who taught me how to use a computer. I can't apologise for using the internet to do a little, simple fact checking so that I don't attract smart aleck comments from those who like to pick up on any perceived errors. If my computer usage bothers you then I have to confess to using paper dictionaries, encyclopedias and reference books when I was writing for a living before there was a computer in every home. I'm a writer, so I write comments that I think are pertinent that happen to be longer than one badly concocted sentence adorned with childish emojis. Cheers, BH P.S. Perhaps you can explain the meaning of your comment; "Impressive ability to browse Wikipedia is impressive" I can only guess that I really did impress you, or you were trying to have a 'clever' dig at me for getting some facts right? Actually, I've studied the history of flight and Jack Northrop was just another one of the many pioneers of that amazing history. If you want to criticise me, have the courage to come out and say it. Hiding behind a shite sentence while trying to be clever is not a good style.
