They rushed into it and spent millions of dollars of something that can only carry two bombs (of which only 4 in the entire arsenal to pick from) at a time. It was based off of old 1970s technology and if we had waited a few years we would have gotten a much more finished product (and we did, it's called the B-2).

The aircraft was a breakthrough in technology, and it opened up several new doors - there's no doubting that. But the fact is we wanted to showcase a new design, and do it quickly. We would have saved alot of money otherwise.
