When Planes Looked Like UFOs: The Flying Wing

Did you know the B-2 stealth bomber owes its cool shape to a wild 1950s experiment? The Northrop YRB-49A, which looked more like a UFO than a plane, first flew today in 1950. It had a rocky start—think constant engine headaches and wobbly flights—so the project got scrapped. But that "flying wing" idea stuck around and now helps keep the B-2 invisible on radar. Sometimes, the weirdest ideas just need time to shine! #AviationHistory #TechThrowback #Innovation #B2Bomber #FunFact #Business
