The modern B2 stealth bomber uses a skeleton of standard aircraft aluminum. Components such as the engines, cockpit, and fuel tanks are made of a variety of materials: some steel, some aluminum, and variety of "standard" composites. The skin of the aircraft consists of the stealth material, which is a top-secret non-metallic composite compound. In addition, a special radar-absorbent paint-like substance is spread over the entire exterior surface (except the windscreen), to seal up the aircraft and insure than to panel or fasteners are exposed (as they would significantly hurt the "stealthiness" of the aircraft).
