B-21 Raider: a brand-new strategic stealth bomber will be unveiled to the public after a 33-year absence.

The B-21 Raider first bomber of 21st century and the US Air Force’s next stealth bomber, will be unveiled to the public for the first time in early December, Air Force acquisition chief Andrew Hunter said Tuesday.

After 33 years of the huge gap, the world will finally see a new strategic bomber and stealth bomber in the world after B-2. After years of suspense, the U.S. Air Force has finally confirmed that the B-21 Raider stealth bomber will break cover in a ceremony hosted and sponsored by the Northrop Grumman Corporation at its production facilities in Palmdale, California.

Andrew Hunter, assistant secretary of the U.S. Air Force revealed at the 2022 aviation, space and network conference that the first B-21 “Raider” program will debut at the end of this year, which is confirmed by the manufacturer Northrop Grumman, which means that this new bomber, since its launch in 2014, is about to usher in the “harvest time”.

As the successor to the B-2’s wing-layout stealth strategic bomber, the B-21 Raider program remains highly secretive. The first six prototypes, currently being built at U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, an aircraft manufacturing plant jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force and the Northrop Grumman, was also the site of the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, the result of the Advanced Tactical Bomber (ATB) program of the 1980s.

Northrop Grumman revealed that the unveiling ceremony in early December this year, there will be “invitees” to attend, generally speaking, the workers and families of the aircraft manufacturers, the Pentagon, the U.S. Air Force executives, etc. In November 1988, the first B-2 prototype with the aircraft number 82-1066/AV-1 was first publicly unveiled at this factory, and it first flew in July of the second year, and the B-21 is also expected to make its first flight next year, the debut ceremony, more precisely the new aircraft off the production line, related ground tests. In particular, aircraft static tests are still being promoted.

The USS Midway, a vessel in the American Navy, served for half a century.

Few of its first crew members could have imagined the ship would still be sailing into cσmbαt forty-six years later, her deck laden with supersonic jet fighters. Key Point: The ship had a record any ship designer would eпⱱу. The world’s largest Ьаttɩeѕһір for a decade was ɩаᴜпсһed on March 20, 1945, at the Newport News shipyard in Virginia. She would be commissioned on September 8 and given the name USS Midway in honor of the pivotal World wαr II carrier cσmbαt, which occurred just a few weeks after Japan’s capitulation. Few of the more than 4,000 men who set oᴜt on Midway’s first patrol could have guessed that same ship—admittedly in significantly altered form—would be saddling up for Ьаttɩe 46 years later, her deck crammed with supersonic jet fighters. The USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (aka “Rosey”), the first American carrier to be named after a past U.S. ргeѕіdeпt, joined Midway a month later. Roosevelt was built in New York. USS Coral Sea, the final vessel of the clas...

The Largest Aircraft Ever Built

Image
While size does matter, it is not necessarily always a measure of aviation power. However, this did not stop gifted engineers, who have, for decades now, been designing vehicles of such magnitude that their very ability to leave the ground was already impressive. Today we are going to take a look at 10 of the largest planes, all with their own unique story. Today we are going to take a look at 10 of the largest planes, all with their own unique story.

The US tests fighter jets equipped with laser weapons

Image
The three largest aerospace companies in the world – Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Grumman Northrop – were contracted by the United States to build the most advanced laser s ever! The contract is mainly centered around laser s that could be mounted on fighter jets but ground-based and sea-based versions have been developed too. Now, testing has commenced and the results are quite outstanding! However, other countries aren’t to be left behind as they’ve come forward with impressive developments of their own. In fact, Japan, Spain, and Canada have also contracted Lockheed Martin to develop their laser weapon s. And so the race to the most lethal Laser Directed Energy Weapon is underway! So in this video, we’ll be taking a look at how 60 years of research is finally being pieced together to develop the weapon s of the future.
