Another change is the B-2's lack of vertical stabilizers, which gave it an even smaller radar cross-section. There's much more that goes into creating a stealth aircraft than its shape, though. The ...

Stealth aircraft like the F-35 are built to go slower than older aircraft, so it doesn't emit as much of a heat signature.
