Too. Too dumb.
Too. Too dumb.
The smart and capable aren't getting degrees because they don't go to college anymore, and they certainly don't want to serve the military industrial complex. These two factors force the government to go with diversity hires, thus resulting in a less competent recruitment pool.

All the commentors cracking jokes are ignorant of what creates these issues:
1) B-2s were made in small numbers decades ago. A lot of the machine tooling is likely long recycled.
2) The plans may have been lost or misfiled.
3) Anyone with experience making these retired years ago.
4) Having plans and having practical knowledge are not the same, particularly for aircraft. This is why China is 20 years behind us in jet engine technology - even with stolen plans and engines to reverse engineer, tempering different areas of a part to the precise degree required is very difficult. It'd be akin to handing a bread baker a list of cake ingredients and a finished cake and wondering why their reverse engineered cake always comes out tough. How are they supposed to know that kneading the dough too much makes it too tough and breadlike?

It today's engineers were too dumb, they'd not be able to reverse engineer the magic UFO heat exchangers. I think they probably just lost the specifications of how to make them.

Diversity hires writing the title.
"to dumb."
No thanks, interestingengineering.com, I don't want to read any further.

Not via title grab. Also give OP, , a break, as there is only a small window of time to correct a title.

Saw this coming years ago,, i guess i didnt yell loud enough. Told to put on my tinfoil

Probably a bunch of factors at play here. So those planes were basically made by hand. I’m sure that there was some computer rendering however i doubt that any program they had back then would be compatible with what they have now. So now you have the next generation of engineers working on a old design. They were trained in reading blueprints in college and had a few tests on it but were told you’ll never use that shit just focus on CAD because it’s easier and thats were the money is. Followed up with some diversity tyrone hires its now just easier to chop up an old plane and take some measurements.

That's what is done with alien tech also. Cold the B-2 have some "exotic" equipment in it?
