Overview
Aviation pioneer Jack Northrop designed the flying wing - a breakthrough that reduced drag... increased lift... and dodged radar. Northrop fought to get the flying wing into mass production - only to lose everything. But his dream became the B2 stealth bomber, 40 years later. This documentary takes us from the early days of the aviation designer to the final production and test flights of the Northrop B-49 "Flying Wing" jet bomber, which was 50 years ahead of its time and the first true "stealth" aircraft. The film contains archival video and interviews with the original test pilots and Northrop employees.
