Bring back some B-52’s back from the Boneyard, that will do the trick.

The “B-3” is already been prototyped. It is the mother craft for Aurora. ;-)

“have a crew of only two, “
The B-2 is so computer operated that it has a crew of 2 pilots and a dog.
The pilots job is to feed the dog, and the dogs job is to bite the pilots if they touch anything.

The B-2 bombers were so expensive that only 21 were built. Correction:
The B-2 bombers were so expensive that because only 21 were built.

Buff pilots say that when the last B-2 is retired in Arizona, it will be a B-52 that brings the pilots back to Mo.

Why not have a supersonic stealth unmanned heavy bomber aircraft? Wouldn’t that cut costs drastically?

***Stung by rumors that they were not serious about developing a new heavy bomber, the U.S. Air Force announced that it was developing such an aircraft, that it would be in service by 2018, ***
Shades of Jimmie Carter spilling his guts about the first Stealth Bomber while it was still Top Secret.

No problem.
The B-52 has loads of capacity. Just fill it full of cruise missiles and use them to clear the area ahead of the flight path.

Is that the XB-70 Valkrie?
We used to dream of what future aircraft could look like and be like in the late 60s.
After the Boeing 747, everything just stopped as far as design development, except for the Stealth programs.
From 1945 to 1970 aircraft design and development was at warp speed.
After that, poof!
Having loved 2001: A Space Odyssey, including the Mad Magazine version, it has been a disappointing 38 years since the 1970 unveiling of the 747. We got the Space Shuttle, one of the most ugly air/space craft ever devised.

Isn’t the fighter in the background similar to what President Bush flew in the TXANG?

Thank you, I was going to say that. As the person who machined all of the major parts to this airplane, I saw how much was spent on tooling. Many more COULD have been made at a much smaller cost, but it was not to be.

Our neighbor, the late Emil Pipersky, helped design that and the SST at North American.
