The most accurate representation of the Stealth Bomber on SimplePlanes!
The Northrop B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American heavy penetration strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses; it is a flying wing design with a crew of two.
The lack of vertical tail surfaces make this a tricky beast to fly. You have to manually control the yaw using the drag rudders; the closest I could get to the B-2's drag rudders. It's also tends to nose over. All in all, quite a handful.

It's actually kinda fun to fly with it being challenging to pilot.
It maybe difficult to fly but it's still the best rocketboostkid!..

@Babkov Agreed. You need to control the yaw yourself to stop it spinning. It's the tradeoff between realism and being easy to fly :-(
it's dififculd to fly
@Misha And thank you!

@johnmp130 @General360 Thanks! I'll see if I can sneak a bomb bay in there somewhere. It's not anywhere near to scale, so it'll be a tight fit. The real B-2 has a rotary bomb bay, which was the feature I built my RCP-032A Shadow around, but there's no space for that! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1kaPrI/RCP-032a-Shadow-w-Rotary-Bomb-Bay
Really nice, but it would be really cool if there were some bombs on the thing, since it is a stealth bomber
@MrVaultech @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries @grillitn Thanks for the upvotes. It came out better than I expected, though it would be nice if it was easier to fly. I guess there's a reason this thing has quadruple-redundant flight control systems!
