B-2 Stealth Bomber

The B-2 is an American strategic penetration bomber capable of carrying 40,000 pounds of either nuclear or conventional ordnance. Fewer than 30 were built because the aircraft's high cost. The B-2 is a very iconic aircraft, and carried out bombing missions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, although it was designed for a nuclear war with the Soviet Union which never happened.
I love this depiction of the B-2 bomber because it displays all the weapons and guts of the aircraft which were classified during the late 1980s until the early 2000s. One unique feature of the B-2 is not only it's design and materials are made for stealth, but it has a special RADAR absorbing paint. The only set back of this graphic is it doesn't discuss it's technical specifications which are equally important. The B-2's slow speed and lack of air to air weapons would make it an easy kill in a dogfight.
