On the B-2 Spirit bomber there are no rudders on the back of the aircraft, how does it fly without entering a flat spin or losing control, because when other aircraft like commercial liners lose their rudders it usually ends in a crash?

    Birds have no rudders, and fly quite well... – xxavier Jun 17 '19 at 06:29
  • If you must have an image in your post, please attribute it. In this case, the B-2 is one of the best-known modern airframe designs so it's debatable whether you really need a photo at all. – 0xdd Jun 17 '19 at 17:14
  • It uses a fly-by-wire system to actively maintain stability, and uses split ailerons at the wing tips for differential drag for yaw control. – CourageousPotato Jun 23 '19 at 19:46
