Hey Paul, love your content! I was hopeful that you’d be willing to make a video about the B-2 Bomber. You have mentioned it in several videos which is good, but an in depth look into it would be awesome! Regardless, keep up the great work!
@@Icridium"Today, we’re diving into one of the most fascinating and, frankly, awe-inspiring aircraft ever created-the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. It’s the flying wing that looks like it’s flown straight out of a sci-fi movie. But the real story behind the B-2 is even more incredible than its appearance. This aircraft isn’t just a marvel of engineering; it’s a product of secrecy, ambition, and Cold War paranoia. So, how did we go from conventional bombers to this radar-evading masterpiece? Let’s find out. The B-2 Spirit was designed with one thing in mind-stealth. Its flying wing design, which eliminates the traditional fuselage and tail, isn’t just for show. It’s about minimizing its radar cross-section, making it almost invisible to radar systems. This isn’t a new concept, by the way. The roots of this design can be traced back to experimental aircraft from the 1930s and 40s, like the Horten brothers’ flying wing in Nazi Germany. But where those were prototypes, the B-2 took this concept into the 21st century, pairing it with materials and electronics that were science fiction at the time. Now, the development of the B-2 is a story in itself. This was a Cold War-era project, and like so many things from that time, it came with an eye-watering price tag. At nearly $2 billion per aircraft, the B-2 is one of the most expensive military projects ever undertaken. But for that cost, you get an aircraft that can fly over 6,000 nautical miles without refueling and carry a devastating payload of both conventional and nuclear weapons. It’s a true force multiplier-able to project power anywhere on the globe, often without being detected until it’s far too late. But, as impressive as it is, the B-2 hasn’t been without its critics. Some have questioned whether such an expensive and maintenance-heavy aircraft is viable in the long term. Each B-2 requires constant care to maintain its stealth coating, and adversaries are constantly developing new radar technologies to detect stealth aircraft. It raises an important question-are systems like the B-2 relics of Cold War thinking, or do they still have a role in modern warfare as drones and hypersonic weapons take center stage? And finally, we have to think about what the B-2 represents. It’s not just an aircraft; it’s a symbol of the lengths humans will go to in the pursuit of technological superiority, especially during times of geopolitical tension. As we look to the future with projects like the B-21 Raider on the horizon, one has to wonder-are we entering a new era of stealth technology, or is the era of the manned stealth bomber coming to an end? Let me know what you think in the comments below. Until next time, thanks for watching Curious Droid!"

Actually, there were at least two prior attempts, though today we'd probably classify them as drones. The first was between WWI and WWII, using remote controlled obsolete biplanes loaded with explosives. The other was during WWII, where worn out B-17 were going to be filled with explosives, flown part of the way manually, then the rest of the way by remote using primitive TV cameras, with the flight crew jumping out before the turnover. This was cancelled after a mishap where the plane detonated killing the crew led by JFK's older brother Joe Jr..
To also add on, we did develop AShM and some SAM in WWII However the AShM beung the ASM-N-2 Bat was used compared to the Gorgon which never saw anything beyond testing.
In actuality, there were dozens of guided missile projects before the JB-1 Loon. Some entering operational service but most just being prototypes and a large assortment of Cancelled and abandoned projects, most ended due to WWII ending in and funding drying up/no longer needed. The book “Off-Target: Americas guided bombs, missiles and drones 1917-1950” by William wolf is chock full of these programs.
Point Mugu Missile Park, located in Ventura county, California has the US copy of the V-1, the Loon, displayed at the park along with over a dozen other missiles and several fighter aircraft. Just off of Pacific Coast Highway. Definitely worth a stop to see Loon, Regulas, Polaris and other missiles / drones developed and tested at Pt. Mugu.
There was a Northrop JB-1 located at Northrop Institute of Technology (NIT) an aviation school for A&P mechanics, located near Los Angeles International Airport in the 1960's. I was there from 1965 through 1966 and saw it there many times. I have no idea where it is now.
In the 1950s I had a Revell kit of the USS Nautilus which included a Regulus 1 missile to mount on the deck. The Nautilus never carried such a missile, though.
Hmmm, piloting remotely by tv, radar guided... If I remember correctly, the V-1 just had gyroscopes to keep it's orientation and a prop and rotation counter to determine when to cut the fuel as it should be at it's targeted range. The guidance was so primitive that British pilots would just tip them on the wing to throw them off course. Seems like they missed out on the original intent and that is was to be inexpensive and readily manufactured.
The American variant was designed for submarine launch and had four times the range… The Ford engine had a 90 minute design life compared to the 30 minutes of the original Argus engine…
'Well your Majesty, it's not efficient, nor accurate, & only carries a small payload - but it is very, very loud.' 'Better give it the Americans then, sounds right up their street!' (Grams: Loud cheering at The Palace : )
I want to see alternate history where the v1 is created and reverse engineered before d-day and D-day gets pushed back and instead brittain launches v1s back and germany launches 2 back and then they ahnialate eachother
In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, our new shopping mall had three bomb shelters on display in the parking lot and a Mace Missile on the back of an 18 wheeler. I believe that the Mace Missile was a descendant of the V-1 & Matador Missiles.
There are several JB2 to be seen at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in Oregon. There is also the Spruce Goose on display. And the Regulus ist to be seen together with its launch submarine, the USS Growler, beside the USS Intrepid in New York City.
That V-1 wreckage was exchanged for radar equipment and flown back to the UK in a Mosquito. I think the same thing happened with an experimental V-2 that was recovered by the Polish resistance,and again flown back to the UK. Pretty sure both were in the hands of the Allies before they were even first fired in anger by the Germans
The JB-2 Loon wasn’t the first American guided missile. As the number indicates it wasn’t even the first jet powered one. The U.S. Navy used piston engined ship launched TV guided missiles (Interstate TDR-1 and similar Naval Aircraft Factory TDN-1) to attack Rabaul in 1944. The turbojet powered Interstate XBDR-1 was supposed to supersede the these but then a clone of the V-1 rolled into frame which also resulted in the cancellation of the turbojet Northrop JB-1 Bat…
The US guided missile, while a major step forward in military technology, also ushered in a new era of arms race. As other countries realized that the US could develop and use missile technology effectively, they would seek to develop similar or even surpass it. This could lead to an increase in nuclear threats, asymmetric wars, and the possibility of global war. Therefore, although this technology changes the way war is fought, it could also increase the risk of conflict and military escalation.
I'm surprised the V-1-based development carried on for so long considering the V-2 followed so quickly afterwards. Didn't the V-2 make V-1-style propulsion obsolete?
Project Orcon.... BF Skinners experiment's in using trained pigeons as seeker heads? The US was also working on a simple "1bit" IR guidance head using conical scanning, similar to what was being used in certain tracking radars.
I am quite happy with your offerings. A question popped up in my mind while watching this. Do you have any videos defining what a "droid" is? Aside from the Lucas meaning. Roboten is easy. Sorry if I seem weird or sarcastic but I'm seriously asking this question of you. Because I am also curious.
Can you do the story of the retro fitting of the Vulcan bombers that bombed stanly airfield, I remember a really good bbc radio 4 program about it, many years ago.
@@Phil-D83it was used strategically rather than tactically as the accuracy was awful - it wasn't guided. Trying to hit a radar would be almost impossible, and they would have been able to see it coming in miles away and direct aircraft and AA guns
Well Germany made their pulse jets by simply reading Frank Whitles book on rocket science, a British publication I think from 1932, the way America behaves now they should of kept the swastika.
There is a Hollywood movie about the sub launching Loone V-1 around 1954. The Flying Missile is a 1950 black-and-white Cold War era Columbia Pictures film starring Glenn Ford and Viveca Lindfors. Made with the cooperation of the US Navy,[1] it tells a fictionalized story of the then recently revealed story of the US Navy's first mounting and firing submarine-launched cruise missiles such as the Republic-Ford JB-2 Loon off the deck of submarines.[2]
They were...to a point. Hitler was obsessed with wonder weapons so he pushed loads of resource into these ideas. The allies were aware of a lot of these technologies but concentrated on weapons that could actually make a difference (e.g lots of excellent piston fighters rather than a few jets of limited benefit). They did seem to lead the way in rocketry via people like Von Braun though.

Jet engines are not rocket engines (which carry their own oxygen, in liquid form, for combustion) so have absolutely nothing to do with taking man to the moon.
If one wanted an unmanned bomb, you could use a regular propeller/engine. Did even the early ram-jets have a power or cost advantage? Seems like the guidance system would be the valuable tech there.
I had to click - the bait worked. Because that's just a V1 painted yellow! But I have to downvote the video because I'm offended that the title is either clickbait or absurdly pro-american nonsense.
