Plane / Planes / Aircraft / Aeroplane / Airplane appreciation

I was being a bit flippant, because the B-35 wasn’t about stealth, but the flying wing’s design (sleeker, for taking a payload faster ... further) was proven in the 1940s. If you were to ‘stealthify’ the jet-powered version (the YB-49), you’d probably end up with something like a B-2.
