Why does a bomber not drop its bomb vertically above the target?

Because the bomber is moving quickly, which means that the bomb is travelling quickly forward when it is launched. This would take the bomb way past the target by the time it reaches the ground.

What makes the whistling noise on bombs as they fall?
If you've ever seen a bomb you will notice that there are tail-fins. There are two purposes to these fins.To make the bomb fall where it is intended to go. Hitting a target with a bomb is a hard thing to do and a lot of technology goes into making a bomb the right shape to 'fall straight.'These tail-fins are also modified to make the screaming sound as they fall; to add a dimension of terror to a bombing raid.
Who was the director of the Manhattan Project which created the atomic bomb?
The US, in 1952 tested the first hydrogen bomb in the Ivy Mike shot. However being 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter with 2 foot thick steel walls and a delicate triple thermos-bottle suspended inside to hold the cryogenic liquid deuterium-tritium mixture, it was far from a weapon.The USSR, in 1953 air drop tested a dry fueled bomb with partial but limited fusion yield that they referred to as a "type of hydrogen bomb". This was mostly a propaganda weapon.The US, in 1954 tested the first dry fueled hydrogen bomb having the same mechanism as the Ivy Mike shot, the Teller-Ulam staged configuration, in a size that could be carried by airplane in the Castle Bravo shot.The US Castle Romeo device (very similar to Bravo) was the first dry fueled air droppable Teller-Ulam staged configuration fusion bomb, fielded initially in early 1955 in an emergency configuration that would destroy the bomber as well as the target as the EC-17 bomb. EC-17 bombs were replaced with MK-17 bombs in 1956, that added a parachute to give the bomber time to escape the blast.
