Well the guys at Northrop did borrow the only surviving Go-229 and the technical drawings from the Smithsonian during the design of the B-2. So while you couldn't prove it their may be some family resemblance. My point was rather than build it out of super high tech materials that cost billions, us plywood. It is cheap, easy to repair, absorbs radar, doesn't have rivet lines (that show up on radar) like metal, and quite literally grows on trees. And with modern resins it can be made more than strong enough for anything except a front line interceptor.
