That $737 million cost includes all of the development cost plus build costs divided by the number of aircraft (21). The actual "flyaway" cost was more like $250 million. The cost to build each additional aircraft. If they had built the planned 132 instead of just 21, the total cost including development of each would have been just $327 million. I actually worked on the the B-2 program and a part I designed is on each one.

On 23 February 2008, Spirit of Kansas, a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber of the United States Air Force, crashed on the runway moments after takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The aircraft was destroyed, both crew members successfully ejected & the accident marked the first operational loss of a B2 bomber, and as of 2023 it remains the only. With an estimated loss of 1.4 billion USD, so there is only 20 in existence still.
"All 21 examples are still in operation." Incorrect. In February of 2008 the B-2 _Spirit of Kansas_ crashed shortly after takeoff and was a total loss.
@Sir Scofferoff Well, they crashed on an airfield, well in sight of the tower, so I doubt they had any time to visit a stripclub before rescue got there
I live an hour east from Whiteman AFB where all of the B2's are stationed. I was in boy scouts and one of the scout leaders used to be stationed there and we got to take a field trip to the base. Seeing this thing up close is something I'll never forget. Last year I saw one flying over Columbia, MO and you couldn't hear it until it was directly overhead and if you weren't looking up you would've never thought the sound was a plane.
I was driving west on I70 towards Kansas City very early one morning, with almost no other traffic, during the Kosovo war. Two B2s flying very low on either side of the highway came from behind (didn't notice/hear them coming) and blew by me, heading back to Whiteman I assume. Was a very surreal moment, especially considering they were likely returning from dropping bombs overseas. They were running bombing raids to Kosovo straight out of Whiteman at the time.
I live in KC but I go down to Springfield for college throughout the year and I see SO many bets flying around on my way there and back. I have never seen a B2, but I see loads of A-10’s and F16’s

Over 25 years ago and still remember the excitement.
1:04 "Radar absorbent materials, like a carbon graphite composite, help reduce its infrared signature by absorbing many of the radar beams that would normally detect such a plane." That is pure nonsense. Did anyone proofread this script?
1:04 - *radar* absorbant materials help reduce its *infrared* signature by absorbing radar beams - no, they don't. Radars use microwaves, and microwaves have nothing to do with infrared light whatsoever. 2:16 - a GPS antenna would make it more susceptible to being picked up by enemies - no, it would not. A GPS antenna works just like a radio: it only receives data from the satellites and does not send anything back. There is no way an enemy could detect that. UPD: someone in the comments pointed out, that GPS receiving antennas can actually make an aircraft more visible in the microwave spectrum, so the 2nd point is in fact correct!
1. "Microwaves have nothing to do with infrared light". Incorrect. Microwaves and Infrared light are the same thing. They're both forms of electromagnetic radiation. They're just different wavelengths. Both of which CAN be picked up by different instruments. 2. The antenna is not an issue in the sense of signals but in the sense that it would affect the radar cross section. There are specifically designed antennas for this purpose called "low observable antennas". You can look this up.
@@vladvladislav4335 I'd have to agree with Doctor here, both microwaves and infrared are just different wavelengths of radiation. In the end, they are electromagnetic waves which can be picked up by different radars. Most standard radars use microwaves, but other radars like IRST detect infrared signatures. Heres an analysis on RAM that also uses the term "electromagnetic waves" instead of differentiating between the waves as like Doctor said, different instruments pick up different waves. Hell, if they put some sort of nuclear engine in planes, they could use a radar to detect gamma rays.
@@prone1548 IR light has orders of magnitude shorter wavelengths, and these frequencies have completely different properties and need completely different equipment to receive/radiate. So no, IR light has nothing to do with RADARs. You can however use the same math and calculation logic used in RADAR systems, but employ IR lasers instead of microwave antennas. It's called LiDAR then. And there is a reason why it has a different name
"Radar absorbent materials .... help reduce its infrared signature by absorbing many of the radar beams" Severe lack of understanding physics detected.
@@cristianjoita4138 No, it absorbs the radiation, so it does not get reflected, as the basic principle of operation of radar is receiving reflected electromagnetic radiation.
@@juanbrizzi7400 I think what is meant that it has a radar signature that is equivalent to the reflection of a smooth flat square metal plate of that surface area. They don't mean the actual physical surface.
Watched one of these fly at an airshow -- it was silent as it passed over I mean, the sound of its engines lagged more than the other aircraft so you could see it pass by but wouldn't hear it until it was already passed.
Let's be realistic...This aircraft is not silent and can be heard relatively close, very clearly like other jet aircraft. It isn't a roaring fighter jet by any means but it is still deafening up close. The purpose is stealth. Not stealth at 2,000 ft. for an airshow. Radar stealth / infra-red stealth at operational altitude. You'd be dead before it's sound was perceivable; meaning you wouldn't see it coming or going. Much less hear it.
I was at one of my sisters softball games as a child and I remember playing at the playground around dusk while she played and I looked up and saw one fly over and I swear it was a UFO and ran and told my mom lol
@Mister Big Despite your ignorant and naive comment, the B-2 is a nuclear stealth bomber and it's primarily role is penetrating the most dense air defences to deliver nuclear strikes .. It wasn't built to be a treatment for viral diseases

The B-52 Stratofortress shouldn't be ignored either since we still have around 80 in active duty, and prepared for action, while being constantly upgraded, and retrofitted with current tech, and additional capabilities.
The Flying Wing!!! This aircraft is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen. When I have seen them flying over my home here in SouthEast New Mexico, just the speed they have is amazing. You see them right above you, but it's silent. After it's past you that's when that enormous rumble comes and you really recognize it's power
It’s more of a screech than a rumble. But my god are they something to see. I remember when I was a kid (used to live 15 minutes from a NASCAR track), 3 went flying over the house at a relatively low altitude. I remember the shadows they cast, and the dead silence, then the screech. I’ll never forget that.
I went to the Whiteman air show and while the A10 pilots were largely...kids...the B2 pilots were mid to late career guys who had clearly been around. The rarer and more advanced, the more experienced the pilot. I've seen as many as 5 in the air at the same time here in MO...
Just to give an idea of how much firepower the B-2 has...in World War 2, the B-17 Flying Fortress had a payload of 2,200kg, or 4,400 pounds. The B-2 has a payload of over 40,000 pounds, almost 10x that of the B-17. Of course that was then and this is now, but still...incredibly destructive power. What a monster
I'd love to see an updated version designed and flying. A lot of the materials used were cutting-edge back them but incredibly expensive (Titanium in particular) so I'd be curious to see what they might replace it with.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but infrared and radar wavelengths are completely different. Infrared does not use "radar" to return a thermal signature. Nor does Radar use infrared for vice versa. A plane's thermal footprint can be reduced by the materials mentioned and the radar cross section might also be reduced in tandem, but the correlation is not causation. The materials reducing the thermal return might also just happen to have a lower radar cross section.
I was hiking at stovepipe wells on the dunes in Death Valley and got to watch one fly all the way across the valley and directly over my head! Assuming it was training cause it was escorting another regular looking plane.
" And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." - Isaiah 2:4
There is an interesting historical fact. The original Northrup YB-49 Flying Wing was very difficult to see on the radar of that time. So the flying wing shape plays a big role in the airplane being stealthy. Here is an interesting thought. If the technology needed for stable flying of a Flying Wing Airplane had existed in the 1940s and the YB-49 had not been cancelled and ordered destroyed the United States could have had an early Stealth Bomber in 1950. It is too bad that the ideas of Jack Northrup were too far ahead of their time.

I think I said a few more bad words as it was really cool to see and as we watched it glide around the mountain on the east side of I25 we also saw 2 F16's flying not far behind it. Over 25 years ago and still remember the excitement.
1:04 "Radar absorbent materials, like a carbon graphite composite, help reduce its infrared signature by absorbing many of the radar beams that would normally detect such a plane."
That is pure nonsense. Did anyone proofread this script?
1:04 - *radar* absorbant materials help reduce its *infrared* signature by absorbing radar beams - no, they don't. Radars use microwaves, and microwaves have nothing to do with infrared light whatsoever.
2:16 - a GPS antenna would make it more susceptible to being picked up by enemies - no, it would not. A GPS antenna works just like a radio: it only receives data from the satellites and does not send anything back. There is no way an enemy could detect that.
UPD: someone in the comments pointed out, that GPS receiving antennas can actually make an aircraft more visible in the microwave spectrum, so the 2nd point is in fact correct!
also just a few hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop m-code? seems a bit cheap to me
1. "Microwaves have nothing to do with infrared light". Incorrect. Microwaves and Infrared light are the same thing. They're both forms of electromagnetic radiation. They're just different wavelengths. Both of which CAN be picked up by different instruments.
2. The antenna is not an issue in the sense of signals but in the sense that it would affect the radar cross section. There are specifically designed antennas for this purpose called "low observable antennas". You can look this up.
@@dhkatz_ I would say that you've stretched the 1st point a bit too far, but the 2nd point is actually good, I didn't think about that
@@vladvladislav4335 I'd have to agree with Doctor here, both microwaves and infrared are just different wavelengths of radiation. In the end, they are electromagnetic waves which can be picked up by different radars. Most standard radars use microwaves, but other radars like IRST detect infrared signatures. Heres an analysis on RAM that also uses the term "electromagnetic waves" instead of differentiating between the waves as like Doctor said, different instruments pick up different waves. Hell, if they put some sort of nuclear engine in planes, they could use a radar to detect gamma rays.
@@prone1548 IR light has orders of magnitude shorter wavelengths, and these frequencies have completely different properties and need completely different equipment to receive/radiate. So no, IR light has nothing to do with RADARs.
You can however use the same math and calculation logic used in RADAR systems, but employ IR lasers instead of microwave antennas. It's called LiDAR then. And there is a reason why it has a different name
They aren’t all still in service. One crashed beyond repair…

@@cristianjoita4138 No, it absorbs the radiation, so it does not get reflected, as the basic principle of operation of radar is receiving reflected electromagnetic radiation.

@@juanbrizzi7400 I think what is meant that it has a radar signature that is equivalent to the reflection of a smooth flat square metal plate of that surface area. They don't mean the actual physical surface.
Watched one of these fly at an airshow -- it was silent as it passed over
I mean, the sound of its engines lagged more than the other aircraft so you could see it pass by but wouldn't hear it until it was already passed.
Really? You would think an aircraft this size would need mammoth engines that can produce a fuck ton of noise. Oh how far we've come lol
Let's be realistic...This aircraft is not silent and can be heard relatively close, very clearly like other jet aircraft. It isn't a roaring fighter jet by any means but it is still deafening up close. The purpose is stealth. Not stealth at 2,000 ft. for an airshow. Radar stealth / infra-red stealth at operational altitude. You'd be dead before it's sound was perceivable; meaning you wouldn't see it coming or going. Much less hear it.
Probably a hologram
It helps that it isn't quite at the speed of sound
I was at one of my sisters softball games as a child and I remember playing at the playground around dusk while she played and I looked up and saw one fly over and I swear it was a UFO and ran and told my mom lol

This aircraft is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
When I have seen them flying over my home here in SouthEast New Mexico, just the speed they have is amazing. You see them right above you, but it's silent. After it's past you that's when that enormous rumble comes and you really recognize it's power
It’s more of a screech than a rumble. But my god are they something to see. I remember when I was a kid (used to live 15 minutes from a NASCAR track), 3 went flying over the house at a relatively low altitude. I remember the shadows they cast, and the dead silence, then the screech. I’ll never forget that.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but infrared and radar wavelengths are completely different. Infrared does not use "radar" to return a thermal signature. Nor does Radar use infrared for vice versa. A plane's thermal footprint can be reduced by the materials mentioned and the radar cross section might also be reduced in tandem, but the correlation is not causation. The materials reducing the thermal return might also just happen to have a lower radar cross section.

There is an interesting historical fact. The original Northrup YB-49 Flying Wing was very difficult to see on the radar of that time. So the flying wing shape plays a big role in the airplane being stealthy. Here is an interesting thought. If the technology needed for stable flying of a Flying Wing Airplane had existed in the 1940s and the YB-49 had not been cancelled and ordered destroyed the United States could have had an early Stealth Bomber in 1950. It is too bad that the ideas of Jack Northrup were too far ahead of their time.

I hear a lot of conflicting info on the B2. I saw a video stating that the B2s fly missions of up to 44 hours so the crew have nice amenities to take turns sleeping and eating.
