B-2 Spirit (Rollout)
Northrop · USA
Unveiled in 1988, the B-2 used a "flying wing" design to eliminate vertical surfaces that reflect radar. Its surface is covered in Radar Absorbent Material (RAM), and its engines are buried deep within the wing to hide their heat signature. It can strike any target on Earth with a massive payload and return home.
