It's reputed to be our smallest strategic bomber in at least 5 decades.
I read elsewhere that payload will top out at 40,000lbs.
It's also subsonic.
But nobody can target it.
And, just like the F-22 and F-35...they CAN be taken out on the ground. And you can bet that is precisely the strategy that would be employed by our potential enemies.

Looks like a little kid drew it (for reasons, I know).

We know one other thing they forgot to mention: If Obama gets the chance, or God forbid Hillary cheats her way into the White House, this aircraft will never make it to production. They are both progressives determined to undermine and diminish America’s influence in the world.

Many years ago, I was visiting my parents who lived close to the Eglin AFB reservation. I had been hunting and was nearly back to the house when a plane flew overhead. It was nearing darkness but I could see the outline fairly well.
I later saw a model airplane kit which was supposed to be close to the still mysterious stealth fighter. The plane I had seen looked just about the same and I just assumed that was what I had seen.
When the real stealth fighter was finally revealed it looked nothing like the model. It did make me wonder if I had seen an unusual plane.

I remember seeing a modeling kit based on what they( the model company) THOUGHT the Stealth aircraft would look like. It resembled an SR-71.

How soon will they be hiring the non-Engrish speaking Chinese engineers in order to ASSURE that it’s stolen by China..?
So that China is RIGHT behind us, thereby requiring MORE defense expenditures.
The more I think about it the more I see how it would be an ACT OF FINANCIAL ILLOGIC for defense companies to make sure their stuff is secure from foreigners.

Flying wing aircraft are inherently unstable on all 3 axis. It requires fly by wire controls to make them work. So the German model was never put into production.

Fascinating read about how advanced that plane was.
Thanks!
