    Nick: Invisibility sounds like something out of a work of Sci-Fi. However, Northrop Grumman’s B2 Spirit is just that. While the B2 is not invisible to the naked eye, it can avoid detection by radar thanks to a specially designed frame and coating that deflects and nullifies radar waves. Radar waves are sent outwards, and bounce off of features such as engines and straight wings. By altering its shape and applying radar absorbent material, the B2 is able to minimize the radar waves that can be analyzed, making the B2 almost impossible to find. On top of being a stealth plane, the B2 is a flying wing, meaning it has no fuselage or tail. The B2 is meant to be a low observable stealth plane used to penetrate anti-aircraft defenses. It can carry both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, and is a unique aircraft that can carry heavy air-to-surface weapons while also remaining in stealth. But where did this technology come from? Daryl: As soon as radar was developed during World War Two, there was a need to evade radar. Efforts were made during and after the war to counter radar, and two German brothers were the first to find a solution. Walter and Reimar Horton were pilots with the German Luftwaffe, but also designed aircraft of their own. One of these was the Horton HO-229 jet, the earliest flying wing propelled by a jet, which also had radar wave absorbing material on the wings. They used a wood-carbon powder to absorb radar waves, making this the earliest stealth plane.

    A, AIR & SPA ID SE CE MU REP SEU INT M AIRCRAFT COLLECTION From the Avenger torpedo bomber, a stalwart from Intrepid’s World War II service, to the A-12, the spy plane from the Cold War, this collection reflects some of the GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN MILITARY AVIATION. Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

Originally built as the TBF by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, they were affectionately nicknamed “Turkeys” for their somewhat ungainly appearance.
