Schwartz was asked about why the next generation bomber (NGB) was postponed in the Fiscal 2010 budget recommendations issued on 6 April by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. This video was Schwartz's reply.

  • he has HUGE hands, lol... it was almost awkward to shake them !

  • The thing is that the "Next Generation Bomber" or the "2018 Bomber" aircraft will never be based on the B2. The 2 main competitors, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman have proposed more conventional designs based on the YF-22 (the FB-22) and YF-23. After initially replacing the "2018 Bomber" with a longer use "Next Generation Bomber" concept they returned to the "2018 Bomber" idea, the new bomber will be based on the F-22 and F-35 technology.

  • Hey it's David Singer to the left!
