Stealth No More: B-21 Production Underway, AF Secretary Confirms
The Air Force’s next generation of stealth bomber is closer to becoming reality, with several copies of the B-21 Raider already in production, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall revealed Monday.
“As I speak, there are now [five] test aircraft being manufactured on the B-21 production line at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California,” Kendall told attendees of the Air Space Cyber Conference.
The news comes two months after the Air Force released an artistic rendering of the future stealth bomber, designed to carry out long-range conventional and nuclear missions and slated to hit full operations in the mid-2020s.
