soul vs soulless

>>63852732 (OP)
God why do you have to be so right, OP? Look at how they slaughtered our girl.

>>63852768
it is though

For me, it's the tacticool Oakley glass and soft-grey paintwork.

I had a dream last night where a B-21 flew over my house at low altitude

Maybe one of the current test B-21s will get flown over to the middle east for some hands on testing over a state lacking in any credible air defense.

>>63852732 (OP)
Why does the cockpit window on the right look like a nose ring tho?

>>63852886
Correction: like a septum ring

>>63852886
well it's a render from like 5 years before the B-21 was publicly revealed.

I hate the anime eyes and fleshy textured finish

Every super prototype needs it's MP type

sovl is in the air tonight

>>63852900
pilots apparently insisted on the side windows, engineers were pushing completely windowless too

>>63852768
In this case and many others its true tho

>>63853295
>engineers were pushing completely windowless
that's fucking stupid

>>63852768
this, but unironically

>>63853363
it's provides less radar return

>>63853363
windows increase RCS regardless of coating, and the engineers may not have grasped the importance of the depth perception provided by windows v.s. a screen. There's arguments to be had about whether or not just having this thing land essentially ILS all the time is really a big deal and about the potential for pilots to get confused by the lack of depth perception increasing the probability for mishaps when pilots rely too much on the cameras for visual feedback. Either way, seems like windows won the argument.

>>63852732 (OP)
edit of that pic that I did years ago. The B-21 with correct size.

>>63853013
>fleshy textured finish

That’s to better help with the heat from a nuclear explosion.

>>63853013
I looks better from other angles and with less lens distortion.

>>63853527

:(

You're just an imitation of a copy

>>63853363
>>63853463
the windowless argument was probably "there won't be humans in it 90% of the time anyway"

>>63853740
>WE WUZZ
kill yourself retard

>>63853740
Jack Northrop's N-9M was already flying in 1942

The horton kids stole his design tbqh.

>>63853756
Is the B-21 actually crew optional? I heard some people say it might be around the reveal, but nothing since.

It seems like such a weird choice. Why take on the extra space and weight of crew amenities if it doesn't need them to carry out a mission?

>>63853855
>>63853875
Oh look, fudds.

>>63853855
Cry faggot
>>63853875
Yes and no. Yes that it was flying then and took no ideas from the 229, however same applies vice versa. Both designs are unrelated, just convergent

>>63853740
Horten hears a Ho wasn't stealth though. Something that quite literally was debunked many years ago when they decided to build one.

>>63853875
and the Westland-Hill Pterodactyl was already flying in the 20's, who in turn stole the design from some French dudes who patented the idea as far back as the late 1800's.

>>63853051
GM and Ball, my beloved.

>>63853875
I always find it touching that they got a special security clearance to read Jack Northrop into the b2 program before he died.

>>63852732 (OP)
they look like jeans one is cheap one is expensive as fuck

I like the plane ness of the one on the right the limited lines makes it look neat. I do like the many lines but I perferr plan design more

The only thing that matters is the one on the right is much better than the one on the left in all factual, non-cope ways. Even with the retard shit that Hegseth keeps trying to convince people is totally going to happen (it's not) with cuts to the DoD. He isn't touching the B-21. It's just better, easier to maintain, more advanced, greater mission capability. And also the fact that Air Force is dead set on acquiring at least 100 of them by the middle of 2030 should tell you everything you need to know. They'd probably sacrifice the NGAD at this point if it meant preserving the B21. You can tell they are tired of being cucked behind not having enough bombers, and the bombers we do have being seen as too precious to lose in a conflict. Besides, they need as many air frames as they can get their hands on to hurl LRSO's at shit. Good luck stopping the invisible bomber fleet that each just fired two dozen nukes at you from the middle of the Pacific before turning around.

>>63852732 (OP)
B-21 saves its soulless aesthetic with the canopy film imo. Very Halo Reach.

>>63854572
I assume it can be controlled remotely but in reality you would never risk your half-trillion dollar stealth bomber on a spotty satellite connection or a bot hallucinating a landing strip in enemy territory.

>>63853740
>>63854581
You're nothing, kraut. And Jack Northrop beat the Hortons to the punch with his work eventually resulting in the B-2. Meanwhile the 229 rusted away in a random hangar.

>>63852732 (OP)
All those extra tris are expensive

>>63852886
Because she's a whore.

>>63852900
b21 is cute! CUTE!!

LMAO a little gay baby clone is all the amerikkka can do now.
Imagine serbs shoot down a b21 with manpaad. The butthurt would be glorious

>>63856321
heres your reply, it seems like you needed the attention

>>63853740
>Ho 229
Cute little plane

>>63856331
Aw calm down ya big gay baby.

>63856321
Trying WAY too hard

>>63855400
But I dont want to fuck it retard all planes should be fuckable.

>>63853463
These things arent fighter jets, they're bombers. There's zero need for windows. Cameras/radar do the automated landing/flight

>>63853506
Aircraft are just nicer looking in antiflash white

>>63852768
Yes

Retard here. Why does the B2/B21 have to be shaped all triangular for stealth, whereas the F35 looks like a normal jet despite also being designed for stealth?

>>63853740
americans can only copy

>>63857309
the F35 is much worse for it's size the than bomber

the bomber needs to do 1 thing: get there, unload payload, get back, don't get shot

the F35 must do a bajillion different things

>>63853875
the main innovation being less yaw stability and more dead test pilots
>>63856336
rip

>>63856381
>But I dont want to fuck it retard all planes should be fuckable.
Strategic bombers should be tops anyways. They do the fucking.

>>63852732 (OP)
>>63852768
The B-2 and F-22 were technological dead ends. F-35 and B-21 are the future

F-35 is also a dead end. it's sci-fi bullshit triangles all the way
