The wing will fly - the B2 story

Post by nemo » Mon Jan 02, 2017 5:16 pm

After reading about the SR-71, I started watching other documentaries on aircraft. This one is on the research & testing of the YB-35 & YB-49 leading to the scrapping and destruction of the pure wing design. The later pleas of Jack Northrup to NASA arguing the merits of the design and the eventual creation of the B2.

Favourite part: 1:27:40 onward YES sir, you were right!
