Welcome to the world of stealth, this week the plane of choice is the Northrop B-2. The bomber can deploy conventional and thermonuclear weapons, thankfully it has never needed to drop the latter. The B2 is an all-weather plane, with a range of over 6000 nautical miles and operating ceiling of 50,000 feet. In January of 1997 the plane reached IOC (initial operational capacity) and has been operational since then. The production of more bombers was canceled due to rising costs, there were to initially be 165, but only 21 were produced, that drove the cost of those 21 planes to over $2 billion a piece, the most expensive plane ever. I present to you... The B-2!
