Question

What is the difference between the b-29 and the modern stealth bomer plane??M PLEASE HELP!?

Answer 1

The B-29 had two bomb bays.  And tailguns.

Answer 2

The B-29 and B-2 are as different as night and day or as different as two planes could be.  The B-29 was a large WW2 four engine propeller driven bomber of conventional straight wing aircraft.  The B-2 is jet propelled, tailless, flying wing largely made of composites rather than metal.  It is for the most part invisible to radar.

B-29 is more than 60 years old. It had 4 engines turning large propellars. It was slower.

It can easily be seen on radar.

Answer 5

The main difference is about 70 years of technological progress.  The B-29 was state of the art for the 1940's.  The B-2 is state of the art for today.
