Is It True That The B-2 Spirit Bomber Can Fly Faster Than The B-52 Stratofortress?

If you’re not intimately familiar with the Strategic Strike arm of the United States Air Force, the Air Force Global Strike Command, you may not be aware that both of the premier bombers in the world’s most powerful military aviation branch are both subsonic. The casual observer may find this peculiar in an era of advanced 5th-generation, even 6th-generation, stealth supersonic arms race. The fundamental design of both the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress and Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit demands that each of these aircraft will not break the sound barrier in order to perform their mission to the maximum level of combat effect.
