I want to make a 3D model of a B-2 Spirit bomber. However I'd like to know the excact dimensions of it so that I can make it at least somewhat accurate. I'd like to know the lenghts of the following red lines(each straight line separately):

1$\begingroup$ I doubt you will find an official source for these. I'd look for a B-2 on google maps/Earth and use the distance measuring tool. $\endgroup$– DeepSpaceJul 25, 2019 at 12:54

1$\begingroup$ I am working on getting some info from the official, unclassified documentation. But I'd appreciate some help from others. $\endgroup$– DexterHaxxorJul 25, 2019 at 13:04

1$\begingroup$ Have you asked DOD about that? $\endgroup$– vasin1987Jul 25, 2019 at 13:05

1$\begingroup$ Did you even consider what I suggested? I found a B-2 on google maps in less than 5 seconds google search $\endgroup$– DeepSpaceJul 25, 2019 at 13:08

I doubt you will find an official source for these. Luckily, we have google maps.
Using this example from Whiteman AFB (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7250446,-93.5602627,145m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en) and distance measuring tool we get the following lengths:
1 - ~4.65 m (~15.24 ft)
2 - ~3.69 m (~12.10 ft)
3 - ~7.83 m (~25.69 ft)
4 - ~10.71 m (~35.13 ft)
5 - ~4.58 m (~15.04 ft)
6 - ~31.52 m (~103.40 ft)
The rest you can get from the published dimensions (height, length, wingspan), as an example.

$\begingroup$ Nice. You seem like the type who might be thinking about joining the upcoming Area 51 invasion? $\endgroup$ Jul 26, 2019 at 3:12

$\begingroup$ Just like in the story about the B-2s unveiling, where some journalists (allegedly) overflew the site to get pictures of the planform and tail, which the military was not keen to show. $\endgroup$ Jul 26, 2019 at 12:54

$\begingroup$ What's the other aircraft next to the bomber? A T-38 Talon? There are two more on the other side of the hangers as well. $\endgroup$ Nov 20, 2019 at 18:52
