I don't know why, but i've always wanted to know if there any other country has a Stealth Bomber.

I'm pretty sure the B-2 Spirit is the only stealth bomber in the world, right?

But has America given it to any of our allies? I don't think so, but wanted to make sure.

I hope America keeps the techonology classified because IMO its one of our greatest advantage against other nations.

Nope. I don't think that any other country in the world possesses a Stealth Bomber (unless the Chinese made one and they're not telling us North Americans about it).

The B-2 and F-117 are examples of sucessful attempts at true stealth, because they combine several technologies to reduce or eliminate radar signature, infrared signature, visiability, and noise.

The US has never sold another country anything that is stealth related (F-117 or B-2). shoot at nearly one billion dollars a copy, why would anyone buy it?.


Only the Soviet Union really had the scientific background to attempt the faceting technology that made F-117 invisible to radar. After all it was a soviet scientist that actually proposed the idea first. We just made it better, because we had computers sophisticated enough to program the planes facets for maximum radar reflection plus retain sufficent aerodynamic shape for lift and control.

Im afraid the chineese just dont have the technological base yet for carbon forming and shaping of aircraft surfaces for some aspects of stealth. They will catch up sooner or later.

Now that there are mini-computers all over the world with the computing power to rival those first crays that helped design the first stealth aircraft, Im sure that you will see more and more countries that want them to build them.

The JSF is (going to be) a stealth plane too, and that is going to be sold to other nations.

No,but soon they will

the german airforce constructed a stealth prototype 3 or 4 years ago.
Just the hull of course. But of course there was no money to bring that plane out of the construction stadium

Isn't the Tu-160 Blackjack stealth or am I completely wrong?

No, only an dumbed down, less stealthy version will be sold on the international market. Understandably, as many of the finer points regarding stealth is still very mutch top secret stuff.

Only the US, and perhaps the UK will get access to the standard version

Stealth features would be more correct, which reduce RCS.

Wouldnt it kinda defeat the name Stealth if everyone knew about it?

As far as I know there has not been any other country with a successful attempt at a complete Stealth. All are attemptin their own versions of them but none have been completely successful yet.
