Spirit Stealth facts

While investigating facts about Spirit Stealth Bomber and B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, I found out little known, but curios details like:

The B-2 spirit strategic bomber can carry 16 B-83 thermonuclear bombs, each one being 75 times as powerful as the hiroshima bomb (at its maximum). That is equivalent of 1200 hiroshima atomic bombs in stealth mode with a range of 11000 kilometres without refuelling !!

how many b-2 spirit stealth bombers are there?

The stealth B-2 Spirit bomber requires a special air conditioned hangar in order to maintain it's stealth skin properties. This is one of the main maintenance costs associated with the aircraft.

What happened to spirit and opportunity rovers?

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across answering what are spirit and opportunity designed to do. Here are 13 of the best facts about B-2a Spirit Stealth Bomber and B1 Spirit Stealth Bomber I managed to collect.

what did spirit and opportunity discover?

1. When the USAF B-2 Spirit stealth bomber detects a nuclear flash it'll "instantly shut down then reboot many of its electronic systems. Shutting down was the only way to avoid a pulse that would fry the components." Lightning is countered by protecting "electrical components" from over-amperage.

2. The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber requires 119 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight time.

3. Noshir Gowadia, the principal designer of the B2 Spirit Bomber, who is now in a Supermax prison for attempting to pass stealth technology to the Chinese government.

4. A single B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber costs $ 737,000,000

5. The USAF B-2 Spirit stealth bomber "fleet is so small—only 20 airplanes—that vendors don't want to tool up to provide parts in such low quantities. Other pieces of key gear, such as gyroscopes on the B-2, for example, 'are obsolete,'...maintainers are already making do by cannibalizing parts."

6. The U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber's "flying wing shape flexes the entire bomber in flight....the entire outer mold line flexes due to huge temperature differentials and other factors in flight. Vibrations and fuel can affect the tape and putty that seal the radar absorbent materials."

7. One United States Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range, strategic, heavy, stealth bomber "reportedly has a radar signature of an aluminum marble."

8. The Northrop B-2 Spirit (aka Stealth Bomber) was unveiled under tight security on this day in 1988. Guests were not allowed to view the aircraft's rear to keep its propulsion details secret-- but a reporter flew over it and took pictures.

9. The United States Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber's "low observability is derived from a combination of reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures. These signatures make it difficult for the sophisticated defensive systems to detect, track and engage the B-2."

10. Aircraft Nerds B2 Spirit is world's most expensive stealth aircraft. Its production cost was $2.1 Billion per aircraft which includes design, testing & its engineering! Check out stealth technology behind it!!
