The problem is that the B2 and other recent war planes simply cannot fly without the aid of computers. We are now building planes that are aerodynamically unstable -- like a bird -- that means it takes brain power to constantly adjust the control surfaces. You get extraordinary maneuverability, but you cannot fly a bird by using the brain of an insect.
