The B-2 is a triangular shape. The B-2 is originated in the United States of America. The speed of a B-2 is 1,010km/h. That kind of speed would break the sound barrier!! The length of the B-2 is 21 metres and the wingspan of it is 52 metres. It can fly over a base without being detected. This bomber has only been used for tests and war. There was only 21 built and 20 are left in the world.
The first ever flight was on 17th of July 1989. The guns and bombs that are used on a B-2 are hellfire missiles, nukes and a machine gun underneath it. In case of emergency the pilot’s seat can shoot out if it’s about to explode.
The B-2 is only used by the U.S. Air Force. It is made of composite plastic. Built at great cost, The U.S. Air force B-2 Stealth-Bomber is designed to approach targets without being noticed. It is made of composite plastic materials and has a special shape which makes it difficult to detect by radar. I studied this aircraft because it’s something you can fly and I love flying.
I have seen pictures of the B-2 bomber and it is big. A B-2 bomber crashed on my 8th birthday on the 22nd of February 2008. So you better keep your eye on the sky because before you hear it it’s always gone!
