    It actually is pretty darn quiet...the noise it makes is focused very much to the rear...so as it is coming towards you, it is really quiet. Then, as it passes it gets pretty loud...but the engine sound is more like an airliner that is meant to be quiet flying over houses near airports, and not like a high performance military jet. I once saw a flyover of one on an Independence Day celebration in Boston MA years ago.

    • @MichaelScheele
      @MichaelScheele Рік тому +1

      I agree with your assessment. I've seen a B-2 fly at an airshow at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (in Washington state). It is quiet on the approach. By the time you hear it, the bomber has released its payload and if you are in the target area, you're going to be dead very soon.

      When I was much younger I was actually out fishing at a lake (I grew up in Missouri ~60 miles/97 km from Whiteman) either late night or early morning - it was dark. I got that feeling like something was coming up behind me so I looked back, then I looked up. There was a B-2 flying low and slow. I watched it fly almost directly over my head and still barely heard a thing, even way out in the country - the crickets were louder.
      In retrospect, I'm guessing it was either training or prepositioning due to tension we had with a foreign power at that time, since it was flying so low (it took up 1/4-1/3 of my vision), so slow/quiet, and to/from Whiteman to where we were on its heading wasn't a straight shot which could have meant an attempt to thread radar from local airports. Maybe my coolest memory until I joined the army. 🙂

    @2:20 the two bombs was actually quite enough for it's purpose, it was designed to sneak in and hit high value targets. You could either send one nighthawk to take out a radar installation or a dozen b-52s that can been seen from hundreds of miles away.

    When you see one fly overhead it is so hard to judge the size, distance and speed as it is so different from anything else in the sky that you have nothing to judge it against. And the relative lack of engine noise makes the audio cues next to useless for the same reason. It can be right overhead and you may not hear it until after it passes.

    A B-2 performed a flyover when I attended a Kansas City Chiefs (American Football) game. They’re stationed in the same state. Sitting in the cheap, upper level seats, I saw it approaching from a distance, soundless. When it reached the stadium, it was huge, looked like it was moving in slow motion, remained relatively soundless (though the fans in the stadium were roaring), and was absolutely awesome to see.

    My father worked for Northrup during the development of the B-2 in the '90s. He was a civilian contractor that started with another contractor that developed and maintained the simulator for training pilots to fly the B-2. When I asked him about his time at CyberSystems in the early '80s (I was born 1980, we lived in Colton, California, and CyberSystems was in Pico Rivera, California--insane commute, but it is what it is) he told me he was in charge of working on and maintaining the flight simulator for the B-2. When I asked him about the simulator, he told me that the machine made Disneyland's Star Tours look like the $.25 mechanical rocking horse found in front of grocery stores. He went on to work for Northrup-Grumman at Edwards Air-force Base in California in the last few years of the '80s and most of the '90s before the B-2 went in to service as an engineer who would "run the radar data" from their radar testing. This was a B-2 towed into an anachoic chamber and radar cross sections and test were run during the day (huge cement building with no windows and radar absorbing spike on all surfaces of the chamber except where the plane sat. They would record the radar test and my dad would take the tapes (yes, literal tapes) and was in charge of "running the radar data" whatever that meant. All he could tell me was they were testing the shape and skin for radar absorption and he was in charge of making sure the machines and computers processing the data ran correctly.
    I was 13 or 14 at the time when I asked him just how big the B-2 was. His answer was a wingspan bigger than a B-52, but length shorter than an F-16. I knew he dealt with radar testing, so, I asked him, how big does it show on radar. Being into R/C airplanes and having a .40 size plane (60" wingspan), he told me it showed up marginally larger than my R/C plane. His analogy was you were dead and blown up before you heard the engines let alone saw the plane itself.
    My dad ended his career working for GE as an engineer working at what used to be March Air-force base working on their Boeing 747 test-bed where the inboard right/starboard engine was the experiment. The plane would fly between March AFB and somewhere in China (don't ask why: it makes no sense--even to dad) to test GE's new jet engines and dad would always complain when it came back about how the standards were so horrible that screws were missing, wires and cables were not labeled, panels not even remotely secured properly and he and his team would spend the next several weeks putting thing back together properly so the next time the plane flew nothing would fall off. He even had to sometimes climb and crawl his way into the fuel bladders in the wings to verify no Chinese nonsense.
    Listening to his stories, despite being a civilian contractor with Northrup and then GE are some of my fondest memories from my childhood and something that we still bond over today as I always send him some awesome stuff just to start the conversation. He has always been an Amateur radio operator since he was either 9 or 11, can't quite remember, but was born in 1957, so, gives an idea of the era; when I was 15 or 26, he had a Morse code ham radio conversation with a gentleman in the midwest who's either father or grandfather was part of the P-61 Black Widow project towards the end of WWII. Thy hit it off so well, that the guy sent my dad a VHS tape recording of the flight training video for the P-61. I remember watching that with him when he got it. And when I found the same video here on UA-cam 3 or 4 months ago, I sent it to him. ( ua-cam.com/video/FZxlIjQqiTk/v-deo.html&pp=ygUtZmxpZ2h0IHRyYWluaW5nIHZpZGVvIG9mIHRoZSBwLTYxIGJsYWNrIHdpZG93 for anyone wondering).

    The B2 is substantially larger than an American football field length. It is 52m or 167,000 feet wingtip to wingtip. An American football field is 100 feet or 120 feet including endzones.
    The B2 is surprisingly quiet. Of course, that is how it is designed. Putting the engines deep inside the plane muffles the sound emitted.

    The B-2 is still one of the coolest things to see in person. Sometimes they'll use them for flyovers at football games. It's actually a fairly old aircraft, though. It first went into service in the late 1980s. The venerable B-52 has been around since the 1950s, though, and is still America's main strategic and nuclear bomber. And it's absolutely massive! They're both very impressive aircraft to see in person.

      The new B-21s will hopefully get manufactured in large enough quantities, and are intended to replace several of our strategic bombers. I'm kind of nervous they'll do what they did to the B-2 and make only a small number due to budget cuts. There were supposed to be a lot more B-2s. Just like there were supposed to be a lot more F-22s. Congress keeps screwing things up and we end up with not enough planes and have to bring in new programs sooner, to meet the same demands the previous program was supposed to meet, and then everything ends up costing a lot more in the long run.

    In early 2017, a pair of B-2 bombers dropped 100 individually-targeted JDAM guided bombs on an ISIS camp in Libya. They weren't chosen for the mission because of their stealth capabilities (although it probably helped in case there were ISIS sympathizers in the region with radar systems active that night). They were chosen simply for the sheer volume of munitions they could hold and launch precisely at so many targets in a single bombing run. The terrorists were annihilated, and just in case of survivors there was a "flock" of MQ-9 Reaper drones there for battle damage assessment, that afterwards mopped up with hellfire missiles and laser guided bombs against anything still moving. In the single strike mission, 10% of ISIS in Libya was killed.

      The USAF had originally planned to buy a total of 750 ATFs. In 2009, the program was cut to 187 operational aircraft due to high costs, a lack of air-to-air missions due to the focus on counterinsurgency operations at the time of production, a ban on exports, and development of the more affordable and versatile F-35 with the last F-22 delivered in 2012.

Before that it was an extremely closely guarded secret and only flew at night. After it was revealed, they started sending them to air shows, and I saw one as a result.

You gotta wonder what a jet build to cruise at 3.2 is capable of because it doesn't have any visible bombs underneath it that's for sure. it's very pretty jet. Super super long. Way bigger than you'd think. Very sharp to cut through the air. Only two people fly it at a time, allegedly.

The B-2 is a great plane but we don't have enough of them, so instead the B-52 has to be kept in service for another hundred years. It's a safe bet they'll do the same with the B-21 next.

Also, “defense” encapsulates funding for literally dozens of agencies and defense programs, some of which goes to NASA as well. NASA is but a single government agency. The comparison of NASA funding to all of defense spending is akin to comparing NSF funding with all of education spending. Such a comparison just doesn’t make sense.

      @@bobdobb9017 And I’m sure that literally every other government agency would also love an additional, say, $10 billion annually. It’s not like NASA is failing to meet it’s objectives because it’s chronically underfunded or something. Throwing a couple extra billion at the agency every year without any accompanying objective(s) might be nice for some NASA employees’ salaries, but it certainly wouldn’t guarantee increased effectiveness or efficiency in any particular area if there isn’t an actual clearly-defined goal/mandate attached to that additional funding. The fact that incidents can happen with space shuttles is just reality. If it were absolutely critical to return that shuttle, it likely would’ve been done regardless of cost because the funding would’ve been approved by Congress - the fact that cost concerns outweighed everything else, even for admin at NASA, is probably an indicator that it wasn’t all that important or worth it anyway or they would’ve at least tried to press the case for action to Congress…
      But generally, despite being very fond of NASA, I’m among those who honestly don’t see why any of this means that several additional billions need to be sent to NASA annually, especially if there isn’t really any particular mission or goal attached to that influx of additional funding. If they announced some weird major infrastructure project in space, or some new thing they absolutely needed NASA to get behind (perhaps related to the Planetary Defense Coordination Office), then I’d be all for it. Otherwise, I can’t see increasing their budget by likely near or upwards of 50% in one year being justified as responsible “just because.”

    No sir, two bombs was enough for the very first stealth plane.
    Since people were used to being able to see aircraft with their radar, and America secretly made a stealth plane, that wouldn't show up on radar, you send in your invisible planes and where do they drop the bombs? That's right! On the radar towers. Now every single plane you have won't be seen by the radar, because it's gone.
    And the only time they know that there's an airplane in the vicinity is when the Bombay doors open and it's too late to do anything about it.
    So you fly in pairs you come in completely unseen the radar people get about a 10-second warning and then the radar stations go offline

It's amazing that they've already developed and created a more advanced stealth bomber in a relatively short time. Can't wait to start seeing them in the next couple years. Also actively making the new NGAD 6th generation fighter that will control a fleet of drones with them. Also new helicopters are being developed that will have the same control of a fleet of drones. It's the called "the loyal wingman program" where new fighter helicopters and potentially bombers will have fleets of drones protecting them that can ad additional fire power and stop incoming fire intercepting with the drones themselves. We're about to see some other worldly type aire wars.

Our local public pool sits directly beside the end of the runway where they land. You can stand at the park fence and watch them roar in and deploy a giant parachute to slow them down on the runway and see them taxi around and guys run out to get the parachute off.

    On the ground it’s loud, very loud. The exhaust runs across heat tiles, the same tiles used for re-entry by shuttles. There are no antennas that “retract” they are surface mounted. The Astro-inertial navigation is really cool. It tracks 32 stars and with those it can navigate the globe. It’s the only air craft that still has a nuclear mission. If the plane is fully loaded with bombs and gas it can’t take off. They take off half full and and meet with a tanker as soon as they react altitude. The wing span is the same length as the b-52. All skin door panels
    have “blade seals” to not have protruding lines. Also bolts are recessed for Low observability. It’s radar antenna’s are behind panels and don’t move. The toilets are disgusting and so is the crew compartment after a long mission. Their was supposed to be 3 seats but they changed their minds, the ejection cutout is still on the ceiling. If I could post a pic on the comments I have one of me giving my family a tour. I was an avionics technician or if you wann get fancy I was: comm/nav mission systems technician. It’s the only type of military air that has never been shot at. On one of the Air Force bases in England their is a b-2 hanger. I have no idea if one has actually parked there. Only one has crashed. I almost got to fly in one but the pilot remembered I was still on the plane right before they took off(I was fixing the radar on the fly.
