B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, USA
Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for the
US Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. The B-2 is a low-observable, strategic,
long-range, heavy bomber capable of penetrating sophisticated and dense
air-defence shields. It is capable of all-altitude attack missions up to
50,000ft, with a range of more than 6,000nm unrefuelled and over 10,000nm with
one refuelling, giving it the ability to fly to any point in the world within
hours.

And with a radar signature of about a seagull it's pretty stealthy. An awesome
plane

It is a beautiful Aircraft alright, only one very BIG problem. For every hour
it flies it needs 15 hours of maintance,so they do not fly much. It has never
lived up to the design specs that Boeing said it would have,including
speed,payload and range.And the Airforce is terrified to use it in combat
because it is SO fragile and not as stealthy as we have been lead to believe,its
like the old japanese zero. One well placed shot from anything and its going
down.
