It's fucking not the basis of the stealth bomber program. Jesus fucking Christ. The dude who made the 229 claimed it was designed as such in the 1980s, but it is not meaningfully stealthy.
Hell the Grummam team had never *heard* of the 229 until the claim. It was another shit wunderwaffe.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
8 CFR Part 214
[CIS No. 2870-26; DHS Docket No. USCIS-2026-0529]
RIN 1615-AD26
Removing Deference to Prior USCIS Determinations of Eligibility
AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), proposes to remove 8 CFR 214.1(c)(5), which generally
provides that USCIS gives deference to a prior approval involving the same facts when
adjudicating a request to extend a petition for an alien’s employment or stay. This change
would better align DHS regulations with the statute, which places the burden of proving
eligibility for all immigration benefits on the petitioner, applicant, or beneficiary;
strengthen adjudicatory review; and support agency priorities to improve the integrity of
the immigration system and better protect the interests of U.S. workers.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreidhhetu4m2p4hfrbmnmafzz4fq5yqcq3ws5twtbd5jjgdabrphtwe)
