A friend of mine from our local Radio Control Model field was the Radar operator aboard the Aircraft Carrier Enterprise during that War. Radar was so new back then it was held as a coveted National Secret. He also served on the USS Hornet during the Doolittle Raid. This guy was half deaf and so one day when I asked him why his hearing was so Effed up . . . he answered . . . because of the Japanese Imperial Navy.

Fun fact the B2 has the same wing span to the inch of the flying wing. Crazy how on point Northrup was.

[hyperstroll]

Such an awesome bird. I'm proud to be a part of the engineering community on this wing.

I really like the Stingray drone; an autonomous refueling aircraft that can use aircraft carriers is very clever in my opinion.

[US_Joe]

This is the plane Batman would have developed! Only in America the greatest! 💫💫💫

Crazy how something so beautiful was designed and built to hopefully never be used.

[Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

Still astounds me how closely the side on profile resembles the peregrin falcon. It's almost identical like the designers just said "yep nature perfected it".

I love aviation videos because I always wanted to be a pilot.

[billotto]

I wonder what would have happened if Jack Northrop & Kelly Johnson had hooked up. Wow. The 2 greatest aviation minds this country has ever seen...

[Michael_theArch]

Like a stingray in the air, B2 is truly an amazing machine.

[garymiller]

Awesome technology! Thanks 👍 for the insight into stealth. 😊😊😊

[idget]

A tanker drone for carrier support - brilliant!

[plsdonttttt]

did anyone catch the secret reason why they built it?

[brocksavoie]

Great content! Keep up the good work !

[P.Galore]

It's had to believe the B2 - which have been rarely used - is obsolete at $1B a copy. The end of manned military aircraft is near...we should be going to autonomous versions.

Nobody can tell what secrets exactly except top brasses at USAF. For sure everyone knows, it is built to have air accessible domination and to survive most modern SAMs.
The show will be in Pacific theater near you soon. Hold the breath and fingers crossed!

[jackbuff_I]

Can you imagine what tech they've got now!.. one could almost say its tictac shaped! 😏🤫😘 💊

[cbuuvwq]

Stealth and Unmanned. B21 Ai Bomber😊, with nuke and lazer defense weapons👍

About 20 years ago I rode my bicycle way up in Griffith Park to get away from people. I stopped at the foundation of an old house and I watched paper wasps come and go to their hive nest. The ground...everything...the air began to tremble and what sounded like a tsunami got louder and louder and I thought, whatever this is, I'm gonna die...then the sun was blotted from the sky for a nanosecond as a B-2 flew right over my head. It was unreal. If I was Putin or that Chinese guy I'd say "eff with U.S.? Nope.".

[wysinawyg]

The reason is the capture of the "Horten" after WW2.
