It's smaller than the B-2, but at the same time there are rumors that it can carry things no other bomber can. Supposedly it will have a limited air to air ability, and the sensor fusion makes the F-35 look like something from the 70s.

Yeah. I don't understand the wigging out over it being "slow".
It sounds to me as if it's going to be an exciting aircraft. I'm kinda stoked.

There is a crowd that is obsessed eith speed being the ultimate stealth. Get in and out fast and no one can touch you is their philosophy.

The design of which was more or less similar to the "hopeless diamond", as in, it was a shape that was essentially obtained mathematically (rather than aerodynamically) as the "perfect" low-observable shape that *might* be able to work as an aircraft.
Which is why this thing may look just like a B-2, but it's as different from it's predecessor on the inside as a 787 is from a 707.
