The first photo of the powerful Northrop Flying Wing YB-49 in flight shows the huge U.S. Air Forces bomber, longest-ranging jet airplanes in the world, knifing through the air high above the California desert. Currently undergoing tests at Muroc Army Air Field, the unconventional, but highly-efficient tailless craft is the world's most powerful airplane.
