No. Russia is still using their old bomber made in 1959. It has no stealth technology and the US has intercepted them multiple times and escorted them back to Russian air space. It has no stealth technology and still uses cannons to defend itself. This will be Russia's bomber until 2040. I doubt they will replace it with a stealth type bomber because there military budget couldn't afford it. Russia's military is under funded as it is and a stealth bomber program would be very expensive.
The horsepower of a stealth bomber varies based on its model and age. However, modern stealth bombers like the B-2 Spirit have four engines with a total thrust of around 77,000 pounds each, equating to approximately 17,000 horsepower per engine. This would give the B-2 Spirit a total horsepower of around 68,000.
it is shaped like that because it's shape on radar would look small and could be mistaken for a bird or static
Because they are all based in the USA and make training missions all over.
The B-2 Stealth Bomber has a maximum speed of approximately 630 mph. The distance between New York City and Los Angeles is roughly 2,450 miles. Therefore, it would take approximately 3.9 hours (2,450 miles / 630 mph) for a B-2 Stealth Bomber to fly from NYC to LA at its maximum speed.
Hailey is the best in the world. tell that to your momma
It would depend on the type of damage. Gashes and damage that interrupt the smooth lines of the aircraft can increase its radar profile. In most cases the damage will not be enough to make a significant change.
Stealth technology is used to make an aircraft or seacraft undetectable or hard to detect by radar technology. It is employed on the Boeing B2 Spirit bomber so that a potential target would not be able to detect the aircraft until its too late. Stealth technology can be used to penetrate automated defense systems and strike a target, or pave the way for non-stealth aircraft. -K
The F-22, being an air superiority fighter is naturally much faster. It is reputed to have a top speed in excess of mach2 -about 1450 mph (but you can seldom believe anything they publish, and I would not be surprised if it was faster than this.) -The B-2 is a stealth bomber with a high subsonic speed.
The primary classification characteristics of the B-2 Spirit would be:StrategicIntercontinentalLow-Observable (Stealth)SubsonicMannedMulti-role (capable of both conventional and nuclear ordinance delivery)
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).
That would be the pony express
