Palmdale’s repairs in the California city is one of the American strategic minority bombers B-2 Spirit, which is the most expensive aircraft in the world, showed pictures. The corresponding shot requested the attention of the DRIVE edition.
In the publication, it is noted that the cost of an hour of flight B-2 Spirit is 170 thousand dollars. One of the problems of servicing the strategic bomber built on the technology of the 1980s is called lack of components. Nevertheless, as the publication writes, thanks to the achievements in the material science and automation, the maintenance of a small plane is currently more easily carried out than ever before.
Capital work with B-2 Spirit are held, as the Drive reminds, every nine years.
In September, a heavy low-rise strategic bomber B-2 SPIRIT of the Air Force (Air Force) of the United States, which made an emergency landing based on Whiteman in Missouri, got on Planet Labs satellite snapshot.
B-2 Spirit is the most expensive aircraft in history. The cost of one bombarder (without equipment) is estimated at one billion dollars, with full equipment price increases more than twice. Between 1987 and 2000, Northrop produced 21 such a car.
