It wasn’t very fast or maneuverable. A big issue it had was engine cooling. Whenever we wanted it to fly we had to get it in the air with in 10 minutes of firing up the engines, otherwise they would burn out due to over heating. It was really the sight though, wether it was on the ground or in the sky. The US military actually wanted it destroyed after the end of the N9m program, but Northrop basically smuggled it to us and we had it in storage for years. I think we finally revealed it to the public sometime around the B-2 program. My dad said he saw it fly over a stadium he was at with a B-2 overhead. I really wish we still at least had David with us today. It’s still hurts to think about the crash, but I’m glad it’s legacy lives in the hearts and minds of aircraft enthusiasts everywhere. @RamboJutter
I volunteer at a museum that owned the Northrop N9mb. It was in flying condition and I was able to see it fly so many times. Unfortunately it crashed last year, on a test flight, killing its pilot in the process. It was such a shame to lose such an amazing aircraft and a exceptional pilot. This flying wing is amazing, but unfortunately when ever I see one I can’t help, but think about the N9mb.
Wow, this is amazing, I work at the museum that owned the N9mb and though I didn’t know David that well, I had seen him fly on multiple occasions and I believe I heard him speak about flying the wing once. @CobraHueyIndustries
Hello there, I’m Blackhattaircraft, I’m not super good at build and I’m not very active, but I do know a lot a wide variety of aircraft. Welcome aboard
@Rambojutter Sorry for tagging you as well, but I know your good at custom wings as well, I’ve been taking inspiration from your designs for a long time and I didn’t know if you could give some advice

Well it was complete for the most part, but I feel like there was more I could do. Also feel free to inspect anything I’ve made @TrislandianAlliance
It’s alright, all I did was post an image on instagram of it @AWESOMENESS360
Thanks! @ViridiCinis
I used to do that too, but this is more realistic @ViridiCinis
Yeah, probably shouldn’t have gone strait for the inverted gullwing @AircraftoftheRedStar
Neat
