This is the Appearance B-2 Spirit After Upgrade, SHOCKING the World
The Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) B-2 Spirit, often known as the Stealth Bomber, is a heavy strategic bomber designed to overcome extensive anti-aircraft defenses. The plane was created by Northrop, later Northrop Grumman, and constructed from 1987 to 2000 as a subsonic flying wing with a crew of two. The bomber is capable of carrying up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only known aircraft capable of carrying big air-to-surface standoff weapons in stealth mode.
The Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB) project began development during the Carter administration, which scrapped the Mach 2-capable B-1A bomber in part because the ATB showed such promise. However, development issues slowed work and increased expenditures. The program ultimately produced 21 B-2s at a cost of $2.13 billion (in 1997 dollars), which included development, engineering, testing, manufacture, and procurement. Each aircraft cost an average of US$737 million to construct, with total procurement expenses (including manufacture, spare parts, equipment, retrofitting, and software support) averaging $929 million per plane.
The project's high capital and operating expenses made it unpopular in the United States Congress even before the Cold War ended, which lessened the necessity for a stealthy aircraft capable of striking deep within Soviet territory.
