Until recently, the B-52 Stratofortress stealth bomber was the only one in the world. It is a Cold War aircraft which has been in the United States Air Force's ranks since the 1950s. Northrop Grumman is responsible for the design and development of the B-2 Spirit, which is a long-range heavy nuclear bomber. The B-2 was developed to replace the 132-bomber fleet that the USAF had before.
The B-2 Spirit was engineered to penetrate dense antiaircraft protections. The bomber's low observable stealth allows it to remain undetected in enemy aircraft. Spirit's flying wings design makes it extremely stealthy.
The B-2 has received a new Defensive Management System that allows it to avoid air defenses. A plasma device has been added to the aircraft to increase its lift coefficient by almost one third. The plasma device is a thin membrane covering the front of the bomber. The device charges air molecules using high-voltage electricity. This stimulates the airflow above the wing and stops the aircraft from collapsing. The new plasma device is also supposed to detect when airflow on the wing slows down, which can reduce lift and possibly cause the aircraft to crash.
The B-21 stealth bomber is expected to be unveiled by the Air Force in December. The B-21 stealth bomber is a long-range, heavy-lift bomber that can reach most places in the world in a matter of hours. It can carry heavy artillery and nuclear weapons and can deliver a large amount of ordnance payloads without the need to refuel.
The stealth bomber B-21 will be likely equipped with new technology, which will enable it to fly undetected within enemy airspace. The B-21's design includes a fly-wing that is very stealthy against all radar frequencies. Many design features include a flat aircraft frame, without a tail. This helps to reduce the radar crosssection. Engines are also hidden deep within the aircraft to muffle sound, and prevent heat-seeking rockets from escaping. The exhaust is also vented to a special chamber above the aircraft.
The B-21 stealth bomber was developed in the United States, and has been praised by senior Air Force leaders. It has been well-executed and delivered on schedule and within budget. The Air Force will begin test flying the new aircraft later this year. It will be testing coatings, subsystems, engine runs, and engine runs during that time. It will also conduct high-speed taxi test.
The B-21 stealth fighter bomber features a number key features. They include a fly wing design, an airframe that is flat without a tail and exhaust ventilation. This allows for mute sound and to prevent heat-seeking weapons. These features make the bomber very quiet and allow it to deliver its weapons efficiently and quickly. The B-21 will have an extremely high level of precision.
