The evolution of the B-2. The YB-35, YB-49, and the B-2.
Not sure about the YB-49, but it's likely similar to the -35. What you're seeing is just a result of tolerances in toy models, and similarity between the -35 and -49. It's just sheer luck that the wing angle on the B-2 complements the other two well enough …

2019年6月5日 · The YB-49 featured a flying wing design and was a turbojet-powered development of the earlier, piston-engined Northrop XB-35 and YB-35. The two YB-49s actually built were both converted YB-35 test aircraft. The YB-49 never entered production, being passed over in favor of the more conventional Convair B-36 piston-driven design.

2021年4月7日 · The YB-49 never entered production, being passed over in favor of the more conventional Convair B-36 piston-driven design. Design work performed in the development of the YB-35 and YB-49 nonetheless proved to be valuable to Northrop decades later in the eventual development of the B-2 stealth bomber, which entered service in the early 1990s.

Jack Northrop's legacy was cemented in the B-2 Spirit , which shares the same wingspan as the XB-35 and YB-49.

2024年5月18日 · Northrop and Co. finalized the design for the YB-35/49 flying wings in 1942/1943, years before even the glider-version of the Ho229 was produced, all that stopped them from building it was the US government deeming it not necessary, though they likely started partial construction before the war ended.

YB-49 flying wing prototype during a routine test flight, 1947
The YB-49 and the YB-35 were slated to become the next hot thing in aircraft design, with even at least one magazine sporting concept drawings of flying wing airliners, but unfortunately the flying wing's shape resulted in numerous stability issues which pilots of the time were unable to counteract, so the YB flying wing project was scrapped, much to Jack Northrop's dismay as …
