B-2 sidebar technology - ATTB (Advanced Technology Transit Bus)

[flateric]

'Advanced Technology Transit Bus' is made with materials similar to those used in Northrop Gruman's B-2 Stealth Bomber.
Was 'rolled-out' in October, 8, 1996, but, of course, didn't attract so much attention as stealth bomber itself. Price tag is an interesting question, as well as what concrete B-2 technology was implemented...

With radar absorbent coatings to avoid speed cameras?

Mostly composites experience applied to simplifying and lightening the bus structure while designing the bus to be readily adapatable to alrternate powerplants.
