I'm sure it is like flying a very large computer
I'll have to find out what my SIL has to say about this.

The B-21 is the first new American bomber aircraft in more than 30 years, and is one of six under production, according to the Air Force. The Air Force previously reported it expects to eventually have at least 100 of the new bombers.

Super cool. No prices, which are probably much higher than its cruising altitude.

Ailerons....
Charter Member
Not sure I fully understand yet:
Ailerons are a primary flight control surface which control movement about the longitudinal axis of an aircraft. This movement is referred to as "roll". The ailerons are attached to the outboard trailing edge of each wing and, when a manual or autopilot control input is made, move in opposite directions from one another. In some large aircraft, two ailerons are mounted on each wing. In this configuration, both ailerons on each wing are active during slow speed flight. However, at higher speed, the outboard aileron is locked and only the inboard or high speed aileron is functional.

All I know about planes is that they are supposed to fly. It's the landings one worries about.
