Summary:

Seeking to control the cost of its $45 billion B-2 bomber program, the Air Force has scaled back combat testing of the radar-evading aircraft in order to complete all flight tests by July 1997; however, a host of factors still jeopardize the Air Force's ability to complete flight testing on schedule.
