And how much it cost. A lot.
The B-21 Raider in action The US Air Force’s £585m secretive stealth nuclear bomber is flying through testing, literally, with new images showing the aircraft in flight. The B-21 Raider was unveiled in December 2022, but the government has so far been discreet about showing off the cutting-edge aircraft. In pictures released on Wednesday, the sleek aircraft is shown flying for the first time as it undergoes flight testing – after which a minimum of a hundred will be built.
‘It is doing what flight test programmes are designed to do, which is helping us learn about the unique characteristics of this platform, but in a very, very effective way.’ Mr Hunter explained this is the first aircraft that is more digital than not, which contributes to the programme meeting requirements.
