I checked the original Northrop Grumman Press Release at http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/pages/news_releases.html?d=123187 and it says this and also mentions the B-2’s combat load is 40,000 pounds, so I wonder about the conflict this makes...
Yet I trust if anyone can figure out a way to put 60,000 pounds of whipass into a 40,000 pound sack, it would be Northrop Grumman!
BTW Yesterday I discovered Northrop Grumman has opened an officer here in my small town of Corsicana some 56 miles south of Dallas deep in the heart of Texas.
I wish to welcome them here!

I’m pretty sure there were significant safety margins inherent in the B-2’s design. Still, these must be sphincter clenching changes for the pilots...heroes all.
