sadly, Bob Marley would not be alive to see the Wailers proudest moment.

@napsta08 the yf-23 was in 1991

:-O............

personally I like this plane the main reason being the yf-23 derived from this plane

What if kinda funny is that I worked for the Government at more than one Air Base. Nevertheless, I never heard of most Black Projects the Government was up to because of compartmentalization. Yes, occasionally you would look up and see a "New" design of a plane, with a chase plane close by. It was fun, but it is nice to know more now...

@necrofairy Of course, but it's not the most important factor that affects the aircraft's limits. Indeedm the air intake unfluences the aerodynamic of the plane. But I think the nose of tacit blue and its small gas tanks are greater factors.
So yes, the inlet has an impact. That's why some aircrafts have moving inlets.

I think the B-2 is one great big giant chine.

Well, any design is a compromise in all areas. The main goal in this case was stealth. Stealth being the main goal, I suppose the chine had to first, aid in stealthiness....like 1sad1 said above. But it also makes a convenient place to join two composite halfs togethers....and act as an air flow splitter chine like on the SR-71. Otherwise it would be like trying to fly a shoe-box around.

The plane was not designed for speed, it was designed to develop stealth technology. If you would like to learn more, go buy the book, "Hell of a Ride" by Cynda and Velvet Thomas, @amazon.com It tells about the Tacit Blue, (unclassified). Curved surfaces & composite materials were used if you look closely at the B2 you can see how "the whale" fits inside it! Ugly yes -- a fly by wire system and unstable as they come. A bathtub maybe, but my Father flew it! A great man & a great pilot!
