After seeing how amazingly well my B52 Bomber flies I realised why my original B2 Stealth Bomber wasn't reaching quite the same distances (I've managed to get almost 100m of flight from my B52, video up soon). The large oscillatory motion of the original stealth glider, whilst being stable, was sapping energy out of the flight and so to counter this I've designed an extremely technical aerodynamic damper - a tail!
Printed here in Hot Pink you can see that the model no longer matches the design of the actual B2 stealth bomber as closely as the original however the flight dynamics have been greatly improved. Obviously if this was powered by 4 turbofan engines and had the feedback and system control power of a supercomputer as in the real life version then there would be no need for the tail! However I personally think it looks cool and Northrop Grumman have definitely missed a trick there!!
