Sorry, anon had to go eat dinner came back and my pup was sleeping on my puter so had to reboot, may have different ID, don't know. It was part of my AFSC so every-time something like that crashed you just held your breath waiting for the investigation. The pitot static senses barometric, impact then a computer combines them to tell you things like speed, altitude, rate of climb, angle of attack, etc.

Most planes, these signals are used to feed into all your different instrumentation/autopilot but the pilot still has physical command. The B2 is so fly by wire, on takeoff roll moisture migrated from the static port into the line, instantly causing the aircraft to think it was going into a stall. The aircraft then commanded nose down while the pilot was fighting to pitch it nose up and overcome it. Thankfully they realized it before it was to late and punched (ACES II Baby!).

Most aircraft, such as the B1 Bomber are electro/hydraulic. The electrical part makes it easy to fly and integrates your autopilot gives the computers a feedback loop, while still maintaining a mechanical connection so the pilot can just overcome the servos w/physical force if necessary.

B2 is so slow, just a sad easy to hit target. It's not stealth anymore because technology has surpased it. The B-52 is slow, loud and just burns money from every angle.

The B1 (thanks to the last upgrade package) has a pod and can do air/air and it was already faster than a fighter so pure sex.
