The aircraft was developed and manufactured by theaerospace industry, led by Lockheed Martin and two major associates, BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman.
6. E-2D Advanced Hawkeye: $232 million
A major step forward for surveillance and reconnaissance, Advanced Hawkeye powerful new radar system will increase 300% of the coverage area that can be monitored by an aircraft. Although the development of the aircraft is on track and the two test versions have been delivered to the navy, but budget cuts could make the aircraft grounded for at least a year longer than planned.
5. VH-71 Kestrel: $241 million

1. B-2 Spirit: $2.4 billion
This stealth aircraft have the ability to avoid detection, both visual detection, audio, heat sensors, as well as radio waves (radar). Visually, the plane more difficult to see if have same color as the background color (camouflage). In the audio, of course, trying to make the plane more calmly. In the heat sensors, aircraft are usually detected from the heat arising from the body or from the surrounding air temperature. Hottest part of the plane is usually a channel airexhaust or engine exhaust and the leading edge (the first part of the aircraft through the air).Those things make the B 12 become so expensive in the development.
