Inside the B2 factory - products of the future

The B-2, commonly known by its full designation as the B-2 Spirit, is an iconic heavy stealth strategic bomber of the United States Air Force. It is renowned as one of the most expensive and technologically advanced aircraft ever built, earning it the nickname "the Phantom of the Sky". Here are some details: Country of manufacture: United States. The B-2 Spirit was developed by Northrop Grumman. Stealth features: It is the world's first stealth bomber, designed with a unique aerodynamic shape (flying wings) and advanced radar-absorbent materials, making it very difficult for radar to detect. Role: It is designed to penetrate deep into enemy airspace and attack strategic targets with dense air defense systems, carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. Range and Payload: The B-2 has a range of over 11,000 km without refueling, and can reach 18,500 km with aerial refueling. It is capable of carrying a large weapons payload, up to 18-30 tons. Cost: Each B-2 Spirit costs an estimated $2.2 billion, making it one of the most expensive aircraft in military aviation history. Crew: The B-2 only requires a crew of two (a pilot and a mission commander), significantly less than other bombers such as the B-1B or B-52. The B-2 Spirit has been in service with the US Air Force since 1997 and remains an important strategic military asset for the US.
