B2s are cost more than their weight in gold is worth."stealth technology"
mostly consists of advanced avionics that manage control surfaces and
flaps that allow it to fly.
the reason the original flying wings were scraped was because they were
very unstable and they didn't have the computers to fix that.


$2.25 billion, that's a bit of a high estimate.
