And just think, Our enemy could get a hold of the design of this jet and build their own stealth bomber. That's if they don't already have one. And that would be a good thing for the U.S.

Aug 6, 2008 - yup only a billion...

Aug 6, 2008 - The pilot seemed to rotate much earlier than the previous B2 and take off about half way down the runway. Any thoughts?

dt10825 Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - yes youre right, he rotated way earlier and then pulled back way too steep causing a stall bebcause of the early rotation.. then lost control. couple of dumbass pilots i believe.

dt10825 Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - k maybe it wasnt the pilots fault.. but still.

smeary10 Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - The findings of the subsequent investigation stated that the B-2 crashed after heavy lashing rains caused water to intrude into skin-flush air-data sensors which feed angle of attack and yaw data to the computerized flight-control system.The water distorted preflight readings in three of the plane's 24 sensors causing the flight-control system to send an erroneous correction to the B-2 on takeoff.The B-2 quickly stalled became unrecoverable and subsequently crashed.

smeary10 Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - The sensors in question measure numerous environmentals including air pressure and density for data to calculate airspeed altitude and attitude.Because of the faulty readings the flight computers determined inaccurate airspeed readings and incorrectly indicated a downward angle for the aircraft which contributed to an early rotation and an uncommanded 30-degree pitch up and left yaw resulting in the stall.

Aug 6, 2008 - k thanks

smeary10 Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - No worries. Just found the official findings and posted them. Even I can cut & paste, mate. ;-)

Sep 6, 2008 - waz there bombs in that thing???if there waz wouldnt there be a ginourmous eplosion???

brashaz Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - im not no pilot of any sort..but it looked like an engine failure on the left wing, and the explosion looked like a load of gas igniting...dang :S buut, them plains rock!!

zoodusbrother Says:

Sep 9, 2008 - all right....for those of you who arent aware it was a computer faluire.that plane is automated lift-off and landing. the pilot was fightin the plane and therefore.....crash. get your facts straight before you put stupid comments

Nov 13, 2008 - Thanks, I was wondering what the cause was & all I see in comments is hippies posting "Give peace a chance"... O_o

Camaro410 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - O we beat Iraq in those 3 days...Well, I guess those 4,000 soldiers killed in combat so far are just a dream...No one has won the war in Iraq..just like the U S never won the war in Vietnam....
