Despite flying more than 40-hour missions, pilots have no bed and no refrigerator, just two seats in a small cockpit and a small area behind them about the same width as the seat.
Weird one is the training evolutions they go through in simulators at the base. Theres something weird, but obviously necessary, about getting locked into one for 2 days that you know is meant to stress and challenge crews at the more advanced training.
Could that be considered biological warfare due to the risk of disease, and thus a warcrime? Cause if so, then it would be a warcrime to shit on your enemies, which is something I find to be hilarious
A certain one of these b2 shorts revealed to me via it's spot on accurate soundtrack and a clip just long enough of my old best friend's voice who took his schooling the distance in physics and entered the classified world of employment... that the within the epic dream from the night before had me as THE spirit being of that OF the b2 spirit. I'll try to go get some rest now.
Its only disadvantage... a $1,000,000,000 price tag. Or for those of you that quit middle school. Slightly over $1B , thats One Billion Dollars per airframe before crew costs are factored in.
Prepare a hot meal offers images in my head of a crew dog standing behind the pilots seats whipping up some spaghetti or sauteing up some beef tips. Instead of a delicious water activated MRE heater. Lmao.
I remember the triangular cockpit of the aircraft I saw which at first I took to be an alien because it was menacing and polished black. But then I see the triangular cockpit of this aircraft so I have to say they are lying about what it was capable of doing because the two I saw were doing amazing things. They had to be doing amazing things I would not have been fooled thinking it was an alien ship. They can flit around like nothing I have ever seen.
They probably have a dude stay up every night and sleep all day then alternate. It only needs 1 pilot but with 2 you can have 1 awake and 1 asleep. Keep it air refueled and airborne until they run out of food and water.
I've been protected by weapon systems like this for so long that I've lost sight of how this must look to others. The ability for another country, with motives that can sometimes be seriously questioned, to move a nuclear weapon into a country's airspace perhaps without detection has to be incredibly concerning to others. Every once in a while, empathy can jump up and surprise you.
This IS an AI bomber! They're just allowing two humans "ride along" privileges until they can sell the idea of a non-human offensive weapon (especially nuclear capable!). Nothing either of those two pilots do actually does anything to the aircraft. As it is right now the "pilots" request that the aircraft pitch, yaw, whatever - and the computer makes the control surfaces changes necessary to accomplish what the "pilot" wants. Who, or rather what is controlling the aircraft? Well, if you need permission, it ain't you! I would expect that at some future point they will come out with an upgrade in which one of the pilots will be eliminated! Eventually leading to both pilots being eliminated. Or maybe they'll go straight from two pilots to none! Regardless, this will likely be our first truly nuclear capable, offensive, AI bomber. If it isn't already deployed in some deep dark program. Just a progression of logical thinking... IMHO of course.
Way way too small a crew. Should be also modified for 8 or 9 crew. Would make the silly thing way more effective. At least 8 or 9 crew if not more. These extra people would 1. Promote aircraft ability. 2. Operate radar and weapons more effectively. 3. Operate system equipment failure more optimally. 4. Spell other crew members way more effectively. Track and observe crew efficiency much much better. Be able to handle equipment failure modes not adequately covered by previous members.
