Ever wondered why the US Air Force has this plane?

Featured Replies

I've always wondered why the US Air Force has the only air force with this type of plane, and why that is. Now I think I know. The bird is the fastest living thing in the planet. It makes sense to copy nature.

Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

I wonder if Mother Nature come in under budget and on time?

Greyhound announced their new flying bus service today:

"Our 104-year-old inter-city transportation company's sleek canine logo has been long synonymous with long-distance travel. And today we are announcing flights at a new low priced level of service to be known as Kennel Class. Please look for the terminal with winged busses parked on the  ramp, preparing to load."

Yet the B-2 isn't particularly fast. Correlation doesn't equal causality.

I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.

The B2 is the shape it is due to the stealth requirement. Nothing to do with speed.

Perhaps you can have stealth or speed but not both. I could imagine the B2 configuration being unstable at supersonic speeds.
