Newsweek: The U.S. Military Is Building a Fleet of Star Trek-Inspired 'Shadow' Bombers Invisible to Radar
The Pentagon is developing a new fleet of shadow bombers that possibly disappear on radar like those featured in Star Trek movies.
The unit of B-21 stealth bombers, a futuristic combat aircraft, are being created at a secret desert plant in Palmdale, California, after the company Northrop Grumman won the contract for their development two years ago, The Times reported.
The U.S. military has sanctioned the development of around 100 of the bat-like bombers for as much as $80 billion. The precise amount remains top secret.

Will they be invisible to space vision?
Expect China to announce similar design very soon. Coincidentally same design, of course. I would never tell 1.4bn people to fing stop stealing our stuff while working with north Korea against us. Never. The Chinese are our dear dear friends. Right, wnu? You believe that :))
Stealing?? Lol.. If you think these designs aren't being sold, your to trusting..
You realise that if a service member of a US design team or one working for a company like lockheed Martin were to "sell" a top secret design to China and China were to "buy" both parties are engaging in ip theft, and espionage. You do know that, right, Mr smartypants? ;)
Invisible until the next change in technology
