new process mate no idea ................................................The ten most expensive military aircraft ever built
By Laura Thomson30 May 2019 (Last Updated January 29th, 2020 10:39)An increase in the demand for state-of-the-art aircraft capabilities has caused costs to rise for military aircraft, resulting in cancelled projects and production cuts. From Northrop Grumman’s B-2 Spirit to Chengdu’s J-20 Black Eagle and Air Force One, Airforce-Technology.com lists the world’s ten most expensive military aircraft to have ever been built.
Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit – $2.1bn
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is a US Air Force (USAF) heavy-penetration stealth bomber launched in 1989. The aircraft can infiltrate complex and dense air-defence shields, while it is capable of all-altitude attack operations up to 50,000ft.
B-2’s original unit cost was $737m, making it the most expensive aircraft ever built. However, due to retrofitting and adjustments in 1997, its overall cost now stands at $2.1bn. It costs $135,000/hr to operate.
B-2 has two main defences to protect it against radar detection, including its costly stealth coating known as ‘alternate high-frequency material’ and its continuous curvature design.
A total of $60m in general upgrades are carried out on each aircraft every seven years.
B-2 Spirit travels up to 628mph, has a length of 69ft, a width of 172ft, and height of 16ft. It has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 170,600kg and features four General Electric F118-GE-110 turbofans (non-afterburning) with 17,300lb of thrust.
The aircraft has a flight range of 11,100km and a 3,000ft/min climb rate. The two-pilot stealth bomber is able to carry 40,000lb of weapons.
Air Force One – $660m
Air Force One is the name for the two Boeing VC-25’s that transport the US president. The planes are highly modified military versions of the Boeing 747-200, featuring advanced communications and air defence capabilities.
he Boeing VC-25s began service in 1990 and have a unit cost of $325m, with both aircraft amounting to around $660m to produce. Both aircraft cost up to $206,000/hr to fly.
