It's a good looking plane but I don't see any new bombers coming online for a long time, especially considering the economy and the budget cuts for the military that are forthcoming. The B2 is actually a plane without a true mission, B52's are still very good at delivering large payloads on target. All of the new fighters can also carry out attacks missions and are faster and more maneuverable. They're already talking about cutting back the F22 and F35 programs to produce fewer planes because of their cost so why would they even consider designing and procuring another generation bomber especially considering the F35's primary role is ground attack?
