The Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) B2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense antiaircraft defenses. Designed during the Cold War, it is a flying wing design with a crew of two.

The bomber is subsonic and can deploy both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, such as up to eighty 500pound class Mk 82 JDAM GPSguided bombs, or sixteen 2,400pound B83 nuclear bombs. The B2 is the only acknowledged aircraft that can carry large airtosurface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.
