B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber
A $2 billion flying wing that radar cannot see/Aircraft
The B-2 Spirit is a strategic stealth bomber with a distinctive flying wing design that gives it a radar cross-section roughly the size of a large bird. Each aircraft cost about $2 billion, making it literally worth its weight in gold many times over. Only 21 were ever built, and they can fly over 11,000 km without refueling, delivering ordnance anywhere on Earth from their home base in Missouri.
