Noshir Sheriarji Gowadia was a brilliant, Indian-born, naturalized U.S. citizen and engineer who, for nearly two decades, played a pivotal role in developing some of America’s most sensitive defense technology. Working for Northrop Grumman Corporation from approximately 1968 to 1986, Gowadia's most significant contribution was to the revolutionary B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. As a key design engineer, he was instrumental in conceptualizing and designing the aircraft's unique propulsion system, which was vital to its low-observable capabilities. Gowadia's innovative work, reportedly code-named "Blueberry Milkshake," focused on reducing the bomber's infrared, radar, and visual signatures—particularly by developing stealthy exhaust configurations to minimize the heat signature that heat-seeking missiles rely on. This groundbreaking engineering achievement helped make the B-2 virtually undetectable, a massive advantage for U.S. military power.
