B-2 Spirit
Did you know that the first airplane was made out of wood and had a maximum speed of only 7 miles per hour?
In comparison, today's modern planes can travel at supersonic speeds, reaching up to 1,600 miles per hour!
But here's the unusual part - have you ever heard of a flying wing? It's a type of aircraft design that eliminates the traditional fuselage and tail, creating a seamless wing-shaped body.
One example is the Northrop B-2 Spirit, a stealth bomber that looks like a giant, flying bat.
Unlike other planes, the B-2 has no rudder or vertical stabilizers, making it one of the most maneuverable planes ever built.
Its unique shape also allows it to be virtually invisible to radar, making it the ultimate stealth aircraft.
So there you have it, the unusual plane fact of the day - the B-2 Spirit's flying wing design that makes it one of the most unique and advanced planes in history. Thank you for watching!
