Second in the series of reconstructed drawings from Paul Suhler’s book “From RAINBOW to GUSTO.” Here we have the “B-2” design, a U-2 designed for lower RCS. This is Figure 16 (also Figure 17, since the two configurations have identical moldlines).Due to low image quality in the original, this particular drawing has a Source Grade of two:
“RAINBOW to GUSTO” is available from Amazon.com (for $39.95) and direct from the AIAA ($29.95 for AIAA members).
To download the high-rez version of the B-2 drawing, simply click THIS LINK. You will be prompted for a username and a password. For the B-2 drawing, use these:
Username: the first word in the body of the text on page 56
Password: the first word in the body of the text on page 57
The high-rez drawing also includes dimensions of the B-2.
Up next: Figure 19, “General Arrangement #2,” AKA “GUSTO Model I.”

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
There’s an error, somewhere.
In my copy the first word on p56 is d*e*,
and the first word on p57 is *h*.
But these don’t work for me……
( asterisks added so as not to give the words away)
Huh. The words are right, but as it turns out, it’s case sensitive. Make sure you Capitalize The Right Letter. That should fix it.
Yep, that’s got it, should have realised, I will get the hang of these computery thingies one day……
