Indian-born Noshir Gowadia, 66, had helped to design the propulsion system for the B-2 bomber.

A court in Hawaii found guilty in August of passing on information which helped China to design a stealth cruise missile.

Prosecutors had hoped for a life sentence but said 32 years was "in many ways appropriate".

Gowadia was accused of travelling to China between 2003 and 2005 while designing the missile.
