Date of 1st flight? 17 July 1989 Date of Mueller's testimony? 17 July 2019 A, B, C, D, E…. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5….. B(2) Q First Flight: https://magaimg.net/img/8fp3.png The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber has been engineered with low observable technology to reduce its radar and infrared signature, making it hard for the enemy to pick up. It's also acoustically stealthy, as you can tell from this recent B-2 flyby: Although the four General Electric turbofan engines each produce more than 17,000 lb. of thrust, they are buried inside the top part of the wing, which does an amazing job of concealing the bomber's lethal capabilities. If you've ever experienced a military jet flyby, you'll know that the sound is just as impressive as the sight when it comes to demonstrating the serious power available to these precision machines. This stealth bomber pass appears to begin with very little power, but even after it turns away and exhaust appears to flow, the crowd is easily able to talk over the faint jet engine noise. Even knowing that the B-2 is built for this stealthy purpose, seeing its odd geometric shape and flying wing fuselage combined with such little rumble creates a scene that is quite unnerving. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a24484/b-2-stealth-bomber-flyby/
