B-2A Spirit Bomber

The Raptor software was used in the mid-1990s to determine the probability that the B-2A could complete a conventional and nuclear mission or sortie for any location worldwide.

The B-2A Spirit aircraft is the United States' newest installment of strategic bombers and is a key element of the world's nuclear triad deterrent. It is a low-observable, long-range, heavy bomber capable of penetrating sophisticated and extensive air-defense shields. It can conduct high-altitude attack missions up to 50,000 feet, with a range of more than 6,000 nautical miles and over 10,000 nautical miles with one refueling, giving it the ability to fly nonstop to any point in the world. Its distinctive profile comes from the unique "flying wing" concept with leading wing edges angled at 33 degrees and a double-W shape trailing edge.
