The B-2 Spirit was developed by the Air Force as a replacement for the aging B-52 bomber fleet. The boomerang shape and specialized paint of this long-range stealth bomber make it difficult to detect via radar and it is designed for strategic infiltration. It has a range of over 6,000 nautical miles. Armaments can include bombs, rotary launchers, and both nuclear and conventional means. It is the most expensive military aircraft ever produced with an approximate per unit cost of $2.4 Billion.
