Radar technician: Sir, that sparrow has been traveling at 600 mph at 25000 feet for the last 2 hours. General: Don't worry about it

I just love how you're showing different cockpits in every shot. At 2:08, you show a B52 cockpit At 2:32, you show an A330 cockpit At 5:52, you show a B1 cockpit At 5:58, you show a 747-100 cockpit At 6:29, you show a KC-135 cockpit You literally haven't showed a B2 cockpit in a video about the B2, and instead decided to display five completely unrelated cockpits. Edit: To all of you saying it's really hard to find photos of the cockpit, just search it up. There are loads of them. Even if he couldn't use them because of copyright, he could've at least said that they weren't from the B2 to prevent people from being misled.

I remember the first time I saw one in person when I was put in charge to guard one when it came to Fort Campbell KY to avoid the area where it was from a hurricane. It was by far, one of the most amazing things I ever saw.

On 23 February 2008, Spirit of Kansas, a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber of the United States Air Force, crashed on the runway moments after takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The aircraft was destroyed, both crew members successfully ejected & the accident marked the first operational loss of a B2 bomber, and as of 2023 it remains the only. With an estimated loss of 1.4 billion USD, so there is only 20 in existence still.

Imagine how pristine of a pilot you have to be to get selected to fly that thing. Best of the best.

That $737 million cost includes all of the development cost plus build costs divided by the number of aircraft (21). The actual "flyaway" cost was more like $250 million. The cost to build each additional aircraft. If they had built the planned 132 instead of just 21, the total cost including development of each would have been just $327 million. I actually worked on the the B-2 program and a part I designed is on each one.

I grew up in the Mojave desert and saw them in development before anyone knew. I respect and appreciate the experience better now, thank you.

Just build some hospitals and schools man.

So you're telling me that the clickbait picture of a ton of bombs laid out in front of the B-2 Bomber is the exact same amount that can fit in the bomber at any given time? wow!!! how technology has come so far, and how gravity just doesn't exist when it comes to videos.

Pilot 1: taking a deuce Pilot 2: "We gotta do a barrel roll"

5:44 not just an B-2 thing. I’ve had to do this for O-flights with C.A.P and this is probably used in every training mission that the Air Force dose.

I was amazed when a B-2 made its way to a small airport near me years ago. Usually handles puddle jumpers and small jets. And also B-52's

6:10 - When you out of nukes you can still go biological.

Has to be one of the coolest looking airplanes ever built!

I had the awesome experience of going to the air force base they keep all the b2 bombers at in Missouri and we got to go into the plane and talk to a veteran who flew it and did bombing runs! So cool

Saw one of these at an air show in the 90s. It’s really really quiet since the engines are on top.

I live an hour east from Whiteman AFB where all of the B2's are stationed. I was in boy scouts and one of the scout leaders used to be stationed there and we got to take a field trip to the base. Seeing this thing up close is something I'll never forget. Last year I saw one flying over Columbia, MO and you couldn't hear it until it was directly overhead and if you weren't looking up you would've never thought the sound was a plane.

I've seen one of these on a low fly-by at an airshow. Even knowing that is was coming, it's still the most terrifying thing ever when you see it in person.

Only one man in the viscosity but also looking away, now that is luxury!

That is awesome 👌

"All 21 examples are still in operation." Incorrect. In February of 2008 the B-2 _Spirit of Kansas_ crashed shortly after takeoff and was a total loss.

You lost me at the pooping out in the open behind the copilot.

In the 50’s I lived 45 minutes south of Dover AFB. I remember hearing the sound of huge prop planes in the sky in back of our house. I used to look up and watch those huge silver birds slowly making their way.

Use to work at Northrop Grumman..the hangers is what I worked on..the jet took a picture of my uncle taking a picture of it..shut his phone OFF and sent the jetpic to the site contact over safety..that's when I knew this things are feared on purpose.

You speak glowingly of the B2's speed when actually it's a fairly slow combat aircraft. Range, Payload and Stealth are it's real assets.

BTW there making a better one (b-21)😺

wow,nice video

can't fight what you can't see. very powerful aircraft indeed.

I remember seeing one of these flying overhead when I was a little boy 13 years ago and thought it was the coolest airplane I’d ever seen and wanted to know more about it. When I seen a article about it years ago I knew that was exactly what I’d seen and remembered seeing it instantly

Isis: tf is that supersonic sound? B2: it’s the sound of stelf

Anyone else get the “take a ride on a tic tac” commercial? has me laughing in ufo history.

Fantastic piece of technology and most satisfying thing is the fact it’s US Air Force.

Wait till the B21 Raider rolls out

wow, that toilet was surprising, all that money spent and they couldn't get a private toilet 😅

Just got to see 2 of them flying in to Topeka this morning

Good video

Back in the mid 90's my sister and I were passing through Co. Springs with her driving. I was looking out the window and saw what looked like a kite but it was so high up. Kept watching it for several minutes until we passed right beneath it and I realized what it was. I said "holy sh*t Steph, that's a stealth bomber!" I think I said a few more bad words as it was really cool to see and as we watched it glide around the mountain on the east side of I25 we also saw 2 F16's flying not far behind it. Over 25 years ago and still remember the excitement.

Tech vision : shows B2 secrets. China: write that down!

my youtube is so star citizen filled that whenever this video comes up i think its the aegis eclipse lmao

... SPLENDID CONTENT & NARRATING EASY LISTENING... CHEERS ALOT 'N ALL THAT JAZZ...🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🖖🥂

The B-2 is like a final boss we have to face in a game..

03:05 .. they have shown russian Pechora SAM as nuclear missiles lol 😂

I wonder if the concept can be scaled down to make a stealth uav it looks very impressive indeed

The single coolest airplane ever! It's so slick!

"Radar absorbent materials .... help reduce its infrared signature by absorbing many of the radar beams" Severe lack of understanding physics detected.

“All of them are still on service” bruh lmao spirit of Kansas in 08 in Guam might have something to say about that

Looks like something the galactic empire would unleash, soo badass and scary looking

one of these flew right over me at disneyland once

They aren’t all still in service. One crashed beyond repair…

Watched one of these fly at an airshow -- it was silent as it passed over I mean, the sound of its engines lagged more than the other aircraft so you could see it pass by but wouldn't hear it until it was already passed.

Wow so very nice guys 😱😱😱🙏🙏😇

I will admit it almost fascinated me.

2:38 just casually showing a group of ppl going boom 💥💀

It is one beautiful piece of machinery I had the privilege of seeing mine up close in the 1980s it was like looking at a spaceship

Boy!!! we really need this. In the last 239 years we have been at war with someone 222 of them.

My fav one 😍

Flying one of these work of art planes must feel like you're on top of the world. Literally and metaphorically...

I remember playing football as a kid and one of these came flying over the field we ran home telling our parents we saw a ufo. It was AMAZING living not to far from a airforce base.

Great

Thanku foa videoo! Wee will nouw reverse engineeri ittu!

2:37 - We literally just experienced multiple deaths.

Cool video. I especially liked the inside cockpit view which was that of a B-52, not the B-2. The giveaways was the 8 sets of engine gauges. LOL

Just to give an idea of how much firepower the B-2 has...in World War 2, the B-17 Flying Fortress had a payload of 2,200kg, or 4,400 pounds. The B-2 has a payload of over 40,000 pounds, almost 10x that of the B-17. Of course that was then and this is now, but still...incredibly destructive power. What a monster

pretty impressive!

The Flying Wing!!! This aircraft is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen. When I have seen them flying over my home here in SouthEast New Mexico, just the speed they have is amazing. You see them right above you, but it's silent. After it's past you that's when that enormous rumble comes and you really recognize it's power

I can see the peregrine falcon inspiration in this bomber clearly.

I remember seeing one of these in St. Louis one day when I was a kid. Visiting my parents friends and we were in the back yard and my dad said it looked like a chunk of someone's roof.

OMG its so powerful

I saw one flying over the other day! It was huge!! looked like it was refuling!

I'd love to see an updated version designed and flying. A lot of the materials used were cutting-edge back them but incredibly expensive (Titanium in particular) so I'd be curious to see what they might replace it with.

Wow ❤️

There is a five year old video of the B2 cockpit with 1.5m views so clearly there is footage of the interior, yet you chose to show various different aircraft cockpits and didn't even mention its not the b2s? Why? But still a great video! 👍

Its crazy how much we spend on defense.

US Gov: "It cost how much?" Northrop: "$1.2 Billion." US Gov: "Ok. No problem." US Mint Printer: "brrrrrrrrrrrrr"

F16 guy: WhY Me NO haVe sTeALtH B2: BeCause You DiD nOT haVe thE tECHnologY Yet THAt tiMe

To see one of these in person and walk under it is seriously like walking under a UFO.

What an absolutely INSANE machine! Thanks a ton for the video :)

1:04 - *radar* absorbant materials help reduce its *infrared* signature by absorbing radar beams - no, they don't. Radars use microwaves, and microwaves have nothing to do with infrared light whatsoever. 2:16 - a GPS antenna would make it more susceptible to being picked up by enemies - no, it would not. A GPS antenna works just like a radio: it only receives data from the satellites and does not send anything back. There is no way an enemy could detect that. UPD: someone in the comments pointed out, that GPS receiving antennas can actually make an aircraft more visible in the microwave spectrum, so the 2nd point is in fact correct!

That’s a lot of freedom

a legendary machine

When I was younger I was at an airshow where they had a b2 b1 and f117 all lined up next to each other. As I get older I realize how awesome pre 9/11 life was

if only we'd put all that energy and brain power into innovative ways to live sustainably and peacefully

Pretty freaking kool

TEAM NORTHROP! LETS GO!!!

Extraordinary

@Tech Vision Please make one on the behemoth B-52!

Allegedly, smaller SB's worked a treat, when they tested them on the Twin Towers!🤔

2:38 I wasn't expecting to see someone get absolutely erased

Can B-2 annihilate COVID including its DELTA variant?

Beautiful plane. Must be a honor to fly it.

Genuinely curious here, why does it cost so much per hour of flight? Does this take ordinance dropped, fuel used etc into account? or is this simply just man hours required to fully check the plane over for faults after the flight? Kinda new to planes and always wondered why having a plane like this has such a high hourly cost, when surely it should be built to withstand a few hours flying with no damage repetitively?

The real sky GOAT!

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but infrared and radar wavelengths are completely different. Infrared does not use "radar" to return a thermal signature. Nor does Radar use infrared for vice versa. A plane's thermal footprint can be reduced by the materials mentioned and the radar cross section might also be reduced in tandem, but the correlation is not causation. The materials reducing the thermal return might also just happen to have a lower radar cross section.

interesting enough, my uncle flew one of these over the rose bowl. He is retired from the Air Force now, but it was awesome seeing a family member achieve that feat.

smells like a lot of freedom 😎

Human brains are amazing! People are making such so beautiful things just for war!!!

Long range, stealthy and large capacity... Forgot the last great feature few can rival, it looks totally badass.

I think it’s genius that the fact that it goes barely under the speed of sound is genius because that means it doesn’t produce a sonic boom

The B-2 - "The Lion of the Skies " /// Should be regarded as one of the "Wonders of the World" ///

good
