Xlucine Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 The leading edge of the wing and tailfins look slightly different to my eyes, but I could be wrong. The trailing edges are definitely very different, as are the wingtips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguetechie Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 While the B21 idea is patently insane, I still perversely like it. Mostly for the heads of state personal air transport arms race I would hope fervently it lead to.... Can you imagine the next G8 Vlad's backfire, Trump's B21, and ... Ummmm well I guess the rest of y'all are boned. But still, the fact remains that this idea is chock full of awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
