    Jack Northrurp in his wheelchair in his late 80s, was taken to a secret location.. probably out at Groom Lake and they showed him a large scale model during the building phase of the B2.. he held it in his hands shaking and he said "Now I know why God has kept me alive so long..."

    I live about 30 miles from Whiteman AFB where most of the B-2s are based, and get to see them fly over quite often. Beautiful and scary at the same time. You don't hear them coming until they turn away and start to climb because the exhaust is on the top side of the wing.

  • @gscott5778
    @gscott5778 4 роки тому +55

    One of the best stories about the B-2 has to do with the open display of the aircraft's silhouette at the entrance to the Northrup plant. The outline of the secret plane had been there for all to see for quite sometime but because the media did not know the shape of the bomber, they were unaware that they walked over it every-time they visited the plant - it was in the walkway at the entrance in different colored stones. When the plane was finally shown to the public someone tipped the media off about the existing display on the walkway. If you look at the photo of the B2 At the hangar you can also see that they painted the star on the ramp by using the silhouette of the B2 there also. The workers must have had a great time knowing that was out there all that time and nobody had a clue.

    A couple of corrections with regards to the Mosquito. It was made out of wood because of the shortage of aluminium, the stealth factor was an added bonus. It was not just flown at night, missions were 24/7 and ranged from sub hunter killer when fitted out with a repeater 3 pounder cannon, pinpoint target daylight bomber/raider as well as the role of pathfinder for night time bomb runs, Video really underplays what an incredible airplane the Mosquito was..

      @Lalo Lalo As a Brit I have to say credit where it is due, Jack Northrop was a visionary when it came to flying wing design.

  • @woongah
    @woongah 3 роки тому +27

    Some things in various order...
    Northrop first manned Flying Wing prototype, the N1M, dates from 1941 and it already was the successor of a lengthy series of scale models and aerodinamic testbeds.
    The Horten's design cited by someone was incredibly good, but I really think that Jack and the Horten came to their flying wing designs independently.
    The first version of Northrop's Flying Wing, the very first XB-35 without vertical fins, was already a pretty stealthy thing.
    They had serious troubles following it during flight tests, so they designed the first radar reflectors to put on its downside and know what the damn plane was doing.
    Which reminds me, a sphere is a good radar relector, but it is not the best reflecting geometrical shape, as it only reflects toward the radar the energy that falls exactly on the point perpendicular to it (more precisely, it behaves like point source with a power slightly inferior to the radiation density that it receives multiplied the area).
    A much better shape is a catadioptric reflector, like the one given by three planes intersecting with 135 degrees solid angles (picture if you will a triangular piramid - aka tetrahedron - remove the faces, add its center and consider the triangles obtained connecting it to the four vertex; each of the four set of three planes so generated is a catadioptric reflector).
    A catadioptric can reflect near 100% of the radiation it receives on its whole surface toward its source, from any direction (depending on the angle, it may take three reflections to do the trick, and nothing is ever 100% efficient, not even naked metal reflecting radar).
    A catadioptric behaves like a thinly focusing, very high gain directional antenna targeting the radar with the power it receives from it.
    As result a catadioptric the size of a basketball has roughly the RCS of a B-52.
    (And some small examples of these are usually attached to F-35s when they have to mingle with civilian traffic, like when they participate to airshows; Thus, if someone's flashy radar can take an F-35 at an airshow, it is not so revealing).
    Finally, when the YB-49 was cancelled, Northrop had just started testing a new electronic inertial navigation system - i.e. a fly by wire, I suppose with analog computing and maybe some early digital stuff - that was very promising about getting the yaw instability under control.
    Personally, I agree with those that suspect that the program was cancelled more because Jack Northrop was not so good at play ball with politics (he was supposed to allow the plane be produced also by other manufacturers, for the sake of "electoral engineering" - yep, it was already a thing, even back in those aulic days - and he did not fully appreciate the subtleties involved) than because of their perceived technical shortcomings.

      I can't discuss the history or technology of the stealth bomber, but only relate my experience of seeing one. After 9/11 apparently some stealth planes visited my city. I saw the fighter a couple of times. The remarkable experience was being out in my back yard and hearing jet engines suddenly roar as if a switch had been flipped. I looked up and there was one of the bombers banking and climbing up. Apparently it had flown by at low altitude a little to the west of us. I hadn't heard a thing until it started the climb.

Picking, prodding, hitting and running; like an actual Mosquito. To make out like it’s operations were just for propaganda is completely wrong and missing the point. Plus Britain in WW2, you know the country that scraped by on rations, lacked resources a lot of the time and relied on resourcefulness to get through? They would hardly keep the plane operational purely for propaganda that’s just a dumb statement. The fact is Britain saw an unconventional design and put it to use. It was guerrilla tactics in the air. If you don’t understand how annoying and draining that is for an enemy you don’t really understand warfare.

The British didn’t have the Lightning and it was an expensive plane for the time. Britain wouldn’t have been able to afford to make many under license. Instead they had a lot of wood. Think about this. The US with unlimited wealth and materials, far from any danger of having production lines bombed, created a great aircraft. Britain created an aircraft equally good from wood, quickly and under constant threat of destruction. It was a make do attitude and was a mark of technological ingenuity that it turned out as one of the best aircraft of the war. All this aside, check anywhere online and the Mosquito is regarded as the better all around aircraft and a lot more versatile.

    British WW2 bombers were not "hard to detect" as was suggested in the video. Their unique defensive capabilities stemmed from intense use of electronic countermeasures such as jammers (mandrel, tinsel, airborn cigar and others) and false targets ("window") which hampered German radars and radio communications. Yet, 5% loss of planes in every raid was considered low. Tough times...

      Correct. Also the mosquito was small but had a long range payload (4,000lbs) comparable to a B17 (4,500lbs), which it usually brought to the target at 400mph at 50ft off the deck. Nothing could stop that. Also at 10:15, the video talks of chaff as if it were a recent development - as you’ve pointed out, “window” was British chaff, and was already being used twenty years prior by the British, which I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised at, seeing as we invented radar. It would stand to reason that we would invent the first countermeasures against it.

    when I was first introduced to modern stealth planes I saw an show on what the Russian paper is all about, it was so different, I took the time to review an English translation of the paper.. It is not about bouncing radio waves back in a different directions, it is about lens'ing the radio waves. The best way I have seen it described is when you look at the shadow of your hand from the sun and you move your fingers together. At a certain point before your fingers touch, the shadow of your fingers touch.

    • @mjmalones5673
