Title: Stealth bomber Written by: bio_man on Apr 14, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/6_14_04_13_9_44_59.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=12167) This is the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit (stealth bomber). This machine is capable of pin-point strikes on most any hardened target available such as underground bunkers. Needless to say, it is also capable of delivering nuclear weapons. This stealthy aircraft was designed in a way that enemies could not anticipate its arrival, but its 22,600 Kg bomb load and a multitude of nuclear missiles would ensure they'd know when it had arrived. Named the B-2 Spirit, its advantage in battle is derived from its designation spirit; it operates like a ghost. Engines: Four General Electric F118-GE-100 turbofans of 17,300 lbs. thrust each Wingspan: 172 ft. Length: 69 ft. Height: 17 ft. Speed: High subsonic Takeoff weight: 336,500 lbs. Comments: Now that they're investing money on drones, are these becoming obsolete? Written by: barry on Aug 9, 2013 |
