	B-2 Spirit - United States Nuclear Forces
		The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions.
		Bombers participate in Global Power missions in Pacific (ACCNS) Sept. 11, 1998 -- Three B-2s from Whiteman AFB, Mo., three B-52s from Barksdale AFB, La., and 269 support people deployed to Andersen Sept. 5 to participate in the training operations in the Pacific.
		Last Block 20 B-2 leaves Whiteman (AFPN) 8 Jan 1999 -- The Spirit of Oklahoma B-2 stealth bomber recently left Whiteman for the Northrop Grumman modification line in Palmdale, Calif. The stealth bomber is the first Block 20 B-2 delivered and now the last one to be upgraded to Block 30.

	The Bomber Roadmap
		The service remains "committed to bomber modernization," stated the roadmap, and has in the past decade spent $3.6 billion for "new combat capabilities and reliability and maintainability upgrades." Even so, it noted the bomber program is "budget constrained" and that a new airplane is not affordable in the foreseeable future.
		In nuclear operations, bombers serve as a means of permitting gradual escalation and de-escalation of a crisis and as an essential part of the nuclear war plan.
		Bombers will be able to hit more targets in a single pass, reducing the required number of sorties and allowing a force commander to "accelerate the pace of the campaign and to maximize the offensive potential of available aerospace force assets."

	Bomber Questions
		Bombers seemed to be a natural for these missions, given that the combination of their long range and heavy payload offered the exact capability needed to attack at globe-spanning distances.
		Bombers, he said, require fewer pilots and less investment than fighters to deliver the same number of munitions and can reduce the strain on airlift and tanker assets as well.
		Of the 208 bombers in service, only 112 are deemed mission ready; the remainder are dedicated to either test and training functions or are considered part of the attrition reserve.

	Aircraft Information - B2 Stealth
		The B-2 stealth bomber combines revolutionary aerospace technologies and unprecedented design, development and manufacturing systems and processes into the world's most advanced aircraft.
		Aerodynamic and structural challenges of the long-range, large-payload bomber had to be overcome while at the same time minimizing all low-observable characteristics of the aircraft.
		The B-2's primary mission is to enable any theater commander to hold at risk and, if necessary, attack an enemy's war-making potential, especially those time-critical targets which, if not destroyed in the first hours or days of a conflict, would allow unacceptable damage to be inflicted on the friendly side.

	B-1 Lancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Together with the B-52 Stratofortress and the B-2 Spirit, it is the backbone of the United States's long-range bomber force.
		The B-1 was by then intended to serve as an interim bomber in anticipation of the stealthy Advanced Technology Bomber (which emerged as the B-2 Spirit).
		The bomber carries what is known as a "structural data collector" or an SDC which constantly records the last 30 seconds of flight control positions, engine throttle settings, and other instrument data.

	The B-2 Bomber
		The last of these 20 bombers is to be produced in FY 1997 and delivered to the Air Force in FY 2000.
		The President directed that the $493 million that Congress added to the FY 1996 Defense Appropriations Bill for additional B-2s be used to modify a B-2 prototype bomber to the operational configuration, bringing the projected B-2 force to 21 combat-ready bombers.
		Instead of buying additional B-2 bombers for $30 Billion, there are readily available, less expensive options to increase the size and capabilities of the bomber force, according to Pentagon and Congressional Budget Office studies.

	Save the B-1 and B-52 Bombers
		There isn’t another long range bomber scheduled to be built until 2037 when all of our current bomber air frames structurally will begin to wear out, which means we could be trying to fight a war in the 2030’s with bombers equivalent to Model T’s.
		The B-1 bombers were fought for by President Reagan and pushed through in the 1980’s ahead of normal lead times for development and testing causing early deficiencies that would have been caught in a normal production cycle causing them initially to have a poor reputation.
		Bombers are already at the lowest level of the last 50 years.

	B-2 Spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bomber was a milestone in the United States' bomber modernization program.
		An additional expense was caused by changing its role in 1985 from a high-altitude bomber to a low-altitude bomber, which required a major redesign.
		These bombers were originally designed to drop nuclear weapons during the Cold War and support for them dwindled as military spending declined.

		Although the contract for what became the U.S. Air Force's B-2 bomber was awarded almost 25 years ago, much about the stealthy "Spirit" and how it evolved from idea to reality remains classified or consigned to the memory of a few.
		By almost any measure, the bomber's development was one of the largest, most technically complex, expensive and demanding programs in aerospace history.
		The bomber would have to be designed as an integral system, then manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, to meet LO requirements.

	UFOS at close sight: the B-2 Stealth Bomber
		After being developed under a blanket of secrecy, the high-tech B-2 Stealth bomber was unveiled at the Northrop company's manufacturing plant in Palmdale, California, on 22 November 1988.
		Remember that the strategic supersonic bomber B-1 "Lancer" of which the B-2 was supposed to be the successor has a unit cost 2831 million dollars.
		This is why the B-2 became the bomber with the highest rate of survival of the history of aviation, which much relativizes the appreciation of it as "a failure," it seems to me.

	B-2 Spirit
		With no tail the stealth bomber relies on the control surfaces along the rear of the wing to minimize side-to-side yawing motion; you can see one of those control surfaces deployed here.
		There is no drag chute, but one of the B-2's design criteria was the ability to operate from any airfield useable by a 727 airliner, so the rudders are used as air brakes to slow the aircraft down.
		This design feature was also used on Northrop's earlier flying wing bombers, and it's referred to as a "rudderon" or "deceleron" because the same panels which are deflected apart to decelerate the plane are also moved in tandem to act as rudders or ailerons.

		The jagged-triangle shape of the B-2 Spirit long-range bomber is now a familiar part of the opening moments of warfare.
		The unusual shape of the aircraft, part of its “stealth” design, allows it to minimize its appearance to enemy radar, making the B-2 an American commander’s choice when it comes to taking out key anti-aircraft radars or other targets as the fighting begins.
		But the idea behind the four-engine http://www.af.mil/news/factsheets/B_2_Spirit.html is that its stealth features allow it to operate at high altitude and still be nearly invisible to defense systems.

		The final lot, delivered in 1997, were models with systems supposedly capable of performing all of the bomber's stated mission nuclear and conventional goals.
		Without stealth, the B-2 is just another overpriced bomber, since it is far most costly to build and maintain than the 1950s-vintage B-52 bomber, but does not carry a bigger payload or go faster than the B-52.
