Nice, but I think the comparison stops there.

Nice, but I think the comparison stops there. Not if you're a pigeon.

How could this NOT have played a role in the design of the B-2. It surely did, it's obvious.
Excellent post. Time to look at owls, you could have a HUGE cockpit with bathrooms and kitchens like the Russians have.

Here's an owl. Get to work Lockheed/Northrop/Grumman!!!
To: Talisker
Even the nose of the B-2 resembles the Peregrine. So interesting.
To: Talisker
And I bet that falcon is more agile.

A side by side with Obama and Big Bird would explain a lot.

The Owl has one of the most aerodynamic shapes

They also share a common radar signature.

Very cool. But this is no accident. Northrop clearly had avian design in mind when they developed the B2.

We used to see those flying in and out of Andrews when I was much, much younger.

Likely, if you made a scaled comparison. The B2 can’t fold its wings up to change attack angle and recover.
