The '''Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit''' is a multi-role stealth heavy bomber, capable of deploying both conventional and nuclear weapons. It is operated exclusively by the United States Air Force. Its development was a milestone in the modernization program of the U.S. Department of Defense. The B-2's stealth technology is intended to aid the [[aircraft]]'s penetration role in order to survive extremely dense anti-aircraft defenses otherwise considered impenetrable by [[:Category:Military aircraft|combat aircraft]]. | The '''Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit''' is a multi-role stealth heavy bomber, capable of deploying both conventional and nuclear weapons.

We have 5 flymodes now to control this plane. They aid you in most situations, so just click on the flymode desired (clickable buttons at top left) and it should be highlighted indicating that it is active. Basically we have 2 flymodes in air: FL (manual flight) and AP (autopilot)(AS similar to AP), and 2 special modes for ground interaction: TO and LA. | We have 5 flymodes now to control this plane.

* '''Autopilot/Stealth(AS):''' Experimental at the moment, it represents a more stringent autopilot, that controls itself (speed cant be changed) and only little input is possible. This is required to maintain stealth attitude. Switched off by switching to AP only! | * '''Autopilot/Stealth(AS):''' Experimental at the moment, it represents a more stringent autopilot, that controls itself (speed cant be changed) and only little input is possible.
