The B-2 Spirit is a stealthy, long-range strategic bomber manufactured by Northrop Grumman. The “flying wing” airframe is crewed by two and can carry conventional or nuclear arms in its internal bays. Combining low observability (stealth), endurance, and large ordnance capacity, the B-2 is one of the most advanced aircraft ever made, and the most expensive in history. First flight was on July 17, 1989. Only 21 of the bombers were built. It was a significant challenge modeling this unique aircraft due to the difficulty in obtaining quality reference material and gaining insight into flying characteristics and procedures. More people have flown to space than have flown the B-2! The Top Mach Studios team has dedicated over a year and a half of R&D to bringing this model to MSFS.
MODEL FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES
This model is entirely custom-developed, with input from real world B-2 maintainers and pilots within the limits of operational security. Much about the B-2 is still classified. We’ve done our best, utilizing publicly available images, videos, graphics, data, statements by the USAF, pilots and engineers, to replicate the B-2 as accurately as we can. This is likely the most accurate and detailed simulation of a B-2 ever made available to the public. Despite restricted information about the real-world aircraft, we've rendered a highly capable, immersive, and entertaining model that we’re confident you’ll enjoy flying.
