OriginalB-2 Spirit bomber in flight at the Dyess AFB air show, 2018. This view depicts the body's two dimensional and seamless design, a distinct feature for evading radar detection.
Reason
B-2 Spirit bomber in flight. This is a heavy bomber with a wingspan of 52 meters, it is also a stealth bomber. This semi profile view highlights the two dimensional and seamless design of the aircraft. It is a distinct feature for evading radar detection (as well as infrared detection). We have a lower pixel count 2007 FP of this aircraft, it shows more of the body. But I think the nominated view, showing the slim (detection evading) design, is deserving of a nomination. The bomber has been in operation since 1997 and is to be replaced in 2032 with the B-21.
