Funny thing is, the B-21 is still estimated to be less expensive than the B-2, to operate, and produce. Part of this is down to the fact that the USAF was bouncing around the idea of ordering 80 (this is the smallest estimate) B-21s, while only 21 B-2s were ever built. Volume of production allows you to reduce costs.
It's also technological maturity. When the B-2 was built they had to practically invent all the Stealth features. Now they can piggyback off that work and probably a humongous amount of research from the F-35 program

For anyone wondering, the named Grumman "Cats" consist of the F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, F9F (F-9) Panther, F9F-6 (F-9F) Cougar, XF10F Jaguar, F11F (F-11) Tiger, and the F-14 Tomcat.
Seeing the YF-23 in person was so bizzare. Up close it looks so alien and its true size is revealed. It's a shame this bird never went into production.
Ace combat will only ever be real when we figure out compact fusion energy and how to reload pylons in mid-air with replicated ordinance. That, and only if BVR missiles stop being a real thing and Radar tech regressed back to the mid 60s.
1:08 I love how in this clip, you have all of these spaceship looking aircraft, and then you have Grumman's E-2 Hawkeye, a carrier-based AWACS aircraft from the 1960's, just chilling there amongst them.
2:36 from left to right. F6F Hellcat. An impressive replacement to the F4F Wildcat that even the Japanese pilots who survived fighting them said are a better plane than anything they had. They changed so little to the overall look of the F6F from the F4F that experienced Japanese pilots couldn't tell they were fighting a plane totally different from the previously easily defeated F4F. F-14 Tomcat. A plane that struck fear into the Iraqi forces who were piloting the Mig-23. Migs would take off and then seemingly out of no where just explode after take off. They had no clue what was going on. It was so rampant that Iraqi pilots refused to take off and grounded themselves. F7F Tigercat. The replacement to the P-38 Lightning. It never was since the war ended before it could be distributed to P-38 squadrons in the pacific and Jet aircraft were proving quite capable. F8F Bearcat. Similar to the F7F. the F8F was a replacement to the F6F and F4U Corsair. Again, it saw limited service due to the fact the war ended before it could be distributed to their Squadrons on mass. F4U Corsair. Speaking of in the last descriptor, the F4U was a very powerful aircraft that saw most of it's use in pacific and was very liked by its pilots. Yes. I have 3300 hours in Warthunder.

The choice of music had me wondering if it might be satire. I mean, do we *really* need to spend that much money on a new stealth bomber? Do we even really need a new one at all? Sure, it’s probably an amazing upgrade, but wouldn’t that money be better spent elsewhere? I know I for one can think of several better ways to spend it. Starting with NASA and better STEM education for primary school students. Or it could go to healthcare. Or used for more patrol aircraft for the southern border. We don’t need walls or barbwire. We need more eyes in the sky, and seismic sensors in the ground. Could probably create a surveillance network of cheap-ish drones and in-ground sensors capable of monitoring any and all life along the border. Seismic sensors would pick up any large animals(including people) in areas where a drone may not be presently covering, and the closest drone would be dispatched to the area. Seismic sensors would also pick up any attempt at tunneling. Not only would all this be better at preventing illegal crossings, but depending on what other sensors are installed in the drones and alongside the seismic monitors, we could be gathering data that would be useful to science. So in the end, lots of that money would still go to the “military-industrial complex,” but just in different and in some cases less direct ways. Also, active duty and veterans alike could use better healthcare too.
Western support to Ukraine and edits like this have really helped me realize that I FUCKING LOVE THE WESTERN/NATO MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
If I had a nickel for every time a Northrop drone crashed within 500 meters of me, I'd have two nickels. It's not much but it's weird it's happened twice.
Jack Northrop was a huge proponent of the flying wing concept for aircraft design. But after his project got cancelled as WWII was over (and the dawn of jet powered propulsion as well as more mature conventional long-range bomber designs like the B-17/29 proving more reliable/practical), his dream of seeing the flying wing was on halt.... that was until he retired and got called in again before he died - to see the B-2 Spirit coming to life.
Jack Northrop's story reminds me of the poem Harlem/A Dream Deferred by american poet Langston Hughes: What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. *Or does it explode?*
