A 1999 B-2 flight manual in my collection says to hold stick slightly
into the wind during crosswind takeoff.

Well, presumably you'd want to do this so as to keep the windward wing
from lifting, so the plane won't flip. (Can you flip a B-2?)

Even if the plane weren't subject to weathercocking.

Again, a presumption: moving the stick to the left would only raise
the top of the port split rudder, not the bottom half. I assume
they're independent, as on the YB-49 and other Jack Northrop
all-wings.

all the best -- Dan Ford
