It's the history channel they got proof it's real... They even sent ppl to check and see if it were possible andit was true

@kryptonite8494 I will add though that there is no bomber more feared by our enemies than the B-52. Since our enemies or primitive they arent overly impressed with the B2, since they wont see any bomber coming. Air force used to LOVE packing the B52 to capacity with carpet bombs and just lay innescapable waste to HUGE stretches of terrain. Not so much anymore though...not too many huge ass numbers of enemies to kill anymore and carpet bombing aint cheap.

@kryptonite8494 Right but the B2 is stealth. Its only needed on missions where it is either unkown if the enemy has AA capability, or if it is known that they do, and in those (few) circumstances, it makes quite a difference. It is also necessary for its first strike capability, as it wont be detected like other bombers until on target. I agree with you that it is overrated overall, but there is no denying it has a very specialized and important role in america's air superiority.

@leapoffaith20 I know this is almost a year later but I see no one answered you. To answer your question, it was really all pilot input, because there is no "automatic" damage controller on aircraft like that, aside from computer overrides and and very minor things. Trust me when I say they definately did NOT equip the F15 with a "fly with one wing mode"
More to do with aerodynamics overall. The slower you go, the more wingspan you need. Think of a slow biplane as opposed to a rocket "wingspan"
