For aerodynamic reasons, nearly all modern aircraft feature at leastone large vertical stabilizer. The B-2 "stealth" bomber pictured to theright, however, has no vertical fins at all. Why not?

Answer:

Answer:

The reason why the B-2 "stealth" bomber has no vertical fins (or stabilizers) at all, is because by design, the vertical fins are not required to provide stability; the stability for yaw movement is provided through a computer that controls the B-2 stealth bomber; hence the B-2 stealth bomber does not need a vertical stabilizer in order to fly.
