Any similarities between the B-2 and the YF-23 are concidential; the B-2 was
"black" and compartmentalized such that the YF-23 team had to "relearn" many
techniques which were being used (figuratively speaking) 2 doors down in the
B-2 program. The '23 team didn't even get a close-up look at the F-117 until
last year...(so saith an Aero prof here who has talked with another prof who
was previously on the YF-23 team at Northrop).
