The B-2 Spirit, made by Northrop Grumman, is a multi-role stealth aircraft able to drop conventional and nuclear weapons. The bomber was a milestone in the bomber modernization program of the United States. The B-2 is the most expensive plane ever built: estimates for the costs per plane range from $1.157 billion to $2.2 billion US dollars. Its stealth technology is intended to help the craft penetrate defenses previously impenetrable by combat aircraft. Designed to meet a need for a heavy bomber capable of penetrating sophisticated anti aircraft defenses, the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit first flew on July 17, 1989. This aircraft uses "low observable" stealth technology and is capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear weapons. Though designed for Cold War applications, it has seen modern use in Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan. At $737 million each (in 1997 dollars), the first B-2s were a notoriously expensive aircraft, and only a fraction of the initial 132 aircraft that Congress planned to purchase were eventually obtained. Today, just 20 of these aircraft are flown by the USAF. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
