Its sleek, boomerang-like silhouette defies aeronautical norms of the era. It's alien form - absent the familiar tube and stabilizers of traditional aircraft - hints at future stealth bombers like the B-2 Spirit and B-21 Raider. This is the Flying Wing, from the mind of aviation visionary Jack Northrop himself • Test pilots Major Daniel Forbes and Captain Glen Edwards push the revolutionary aircraft to its limits. The YB-49's smooth, tailless profile presents a striking contrast to conventional bombers, its 172-foot wingspan dwarfing the B-29 Superfortress by 30 feet. With no fuselage or empennage, the entire 89,000-pound behemoth is a lifting surface, promising unparalleled efficiency as it reaches speeds over 390 miles per hour. Eight Allison J35 turbojets, four on each wing, hum with power, embodying the Flying Wing's potential to deliver a 5-ton payload over 10,000 miles without refueling. As Forbes and Edwards revel in its unconventional handling, the YB-49 suddenly pitches upward sharply. The leading edge rises towards the sky, and in an instant, the vast expanse of desert vanishes from view. The massive wing plummets, tumbling end over end. The pilots strain against their harnesses, unable to reach the controls as the airspeed indicator climbs beyond recovery limits. • The YB-49's innovative design - once its greatest asset - now becomes its gravest threat. As the aircraft spirals downward, Forbes and Edwards grapple with a chilling realization: their revolutionary bomber, designed to outmaneuver enemy fighters, might prove impossible to recover from this perilous tumble. With each passing second, the promise of America's aeronautical future plummets closer to the unforgiving desert floor.. • --- • Join Dark Skies as we explore the world of aviation with cinematic short documentaries featuring the biggest and fastest airplanes ever built, top-secret military projects, and classified missions with hidden untold true stories.
