Northrop B-2A Stealth Bomber model airplane Following Northrop's earlier experience with flying wings, the company was well placed to develop an Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB) required by the US Air Force to replace its elderly B-52s still used in the strategic bombing role since its entry into service in 1955. The B-2 took to the air for the first time on July 17, 1989, from Palmdale, California. The airframe is mostly built of composite radar absorbent honeycomb structure using graphite/epoxy materials, although some high aluminum and titanium is included. However, this technology doesn't come cheap, by 1992 B-2 cost was a staggering 1.02 BILLION dollars EACH, leaving the future of the airplane uncertain. By that time, there were four of the aircraft flying out of Edwards Air Force Base, California. The B-2A is powered by four 19,000-lb thrust General Electric F118-GE-100 non-afterburing turbofans, with a maximum speed of 545 mph above 40,000 feet and 569 mph at sea level, service ceiling over 55,000 feet, range on internal fuel (with 37,300 lb warload) 5,300 nautical miles, and range at high altitude on internal fuel (with 24,000 LB warload) 6,600 miles. Airplane armament: two weapons bays located side-by-side under the fuselage center-section, each fitted with a Boeing Rotary Launcher capable of carrying eight AGM-69 SRAM II or AGM-129A ACM or AGM-137 Tri-Service Standoff Attack Missiles; alternative loads can include eight B61 tactical/strategic or B83 strategic free-fall nuclear bombs, 1,000 lb.
