B21 arrived as promised. Although the sense of ceremony was strong, it did not bring too many surprises and ripples! Despite this, the appearance of B21 has attracted the appetite of many military fans, especially the Chinese military fans who are looking forward to the appearance of water, and have focused their attention on this appearance of B21!

Compared with the B2 ghost's debut in 1988, the first high-profile appearance of B21, became cautious, and changed from outdoor to indoor, and must have been concerned about the agricultural census satellites in China, Russia and other countries. But to be honest, the ugly daughter-in-law will sooner or later meet her parents-in-law. As long as she pulls her out of the room, she will definitely be looked at from head to toe by countless big eyes.

From the on-site picture, there is no surprise in the layout of the flying wing, with a load-bearing air intake, and the tail nozzle is located at the fuselage. Compared with B-2, the opening of air intake channel is smaller, the leading edge serration is eliminated, the cross-section is streamlined, and there is a partition in the middle. The fusion transition between the cockpit, air intake and wings is smoother. The stealth performance is further improved compared to the B-2, but the main landing gear wheels are reduced to two

, and the maximum take-off weight should be less than B-2. The press conference followed the characteristics of the B-2 press conference, making people unable to see the rear edge and tail nozzle. Moreover, the press conference was indoors, eliminating aerial photography at the B-2 press conference.

In one sentence, it is to reduce the price, increase the quantity, and increase the performance!

For B-21, US Air Force officials expect the final fleet size to be no less than 100 aircraft. The author does not believe that there will be 100 aircraft, and it is expected that production will be stopped from 30-50 aircraft. In addition to advanced technology and capabilities, the important thing about renting is to control costs, and the unit price requirement is to control US$692 million (2022 US dollar benchmark). Service hours are uncertain, but Elworth Air Force Base in , South Dakota will be the first major base and training unit of B-21, Whiteman Air Force Base in , Missouri (B-2 base) and Days Air Force Base in Texas are other preferred locations. In the future, B-1B and B-2 bomber will be replaced.

Generally speaking, as predicted by all parties, it is basically the youth version of B-2, and can only compete with B-2 intrinsic. Nog previously released news that it also has the ability to arrive globally and its range should not be weaker than the B-2. If it is successfully served in the future, the number of purchases of the US Air Force should not be small. With the support of quantity, stealth capabilities, digitalization, sensors and missiles, the threat is still not small.

[Who is the B21 Raider prepared for]

B21 press conference

First to think about it, B21 Raider is preparing for

The following are 10 key facts of B-21 Raider released in advance by Northrop Grumman before the press conference, in order to prove that the melons produced by itself are big and sweet.

. Sixth generation. The B-21 raid aircraft benefited from more than 30 years of strike and stealth technology. This is the next development of the Air Force’s strategic bomber fleet. The B-21 adopts next-generation stealth technology, advanced network capabilities and open system architecture, and is optimized for high-end threat environments. It will play a key role in helping the Air Force complete its most complex missions.

. Invisible. Northrop Grumman is constantly improving technology to adopt new manufacturing techniques and materials to ensure the B-21 can beat the anti-intervention and regional defence systems it will face.

. The backbone of the fleet. The B-21 raid plane is the backbone of the United States' future air force. The B-21 will provide a new era of capability and flexibility through advanced data, sensors and weapons integration. Able to provide both conventional and nuclear payloads, the B-21 will be one of the most efficient aircraft in the air, capable of using a wide range of standoff and direct attack munitions.

. Digital bomber.B-21 is a digital bomber. Northrop Grumman uses flexible software development, advanced manufacturing technology and digital engineering tools to help reduce production risks on B-21 projects and achieve modern maintenance practices. Six B-21 raiders were in different final assembly and testing stages at Northrop Grumman's Palmdale, California plant.

5. Cloud technology. Northrop Grumman and the Air Force successfully demonstrated the B-21 ground system data migration to cloud environment. The demonstration includes the development, deployment and testing of B-21 data, including the B-21 digital twin, which will support the operation and maintenance of B-21, a powerful cloud-based digital infrastructure that will bring more maintainable and sustainable aircraft on the basis of lower infrastructure costs.

6. Open architecture. To adapt to the ever-changing threat environment, the B-21 has been designed to quickly upgrade capabilities since day one. Unlike previous generations of aircraft, the B-21 will not undergo an overall upgrade. New technologies, capabilities and weapons will be seamlessly combined with quick software upgrades and built-in hardware flexibility, which will ensure that the B-21 raider aircraft can continue to face evolving threats for decades to come.

7. National team. Since the 2015 contract was awarded, Northrop Grumman has formed a national team to design, test and manufacture the world's most advanced attack aircraft. The B-21 team consists of more than 8,000 people from Northrop Grumman, industrial partners and the Air Force, and the team consists of more than 400 suppliers from 40 states.

8. Maintenance. The B-21 project has prioritized long-term operation and sustainability from the outset. In our partnership with the Air Force, our team has made maintainability an equally important requirement for stealth performance to ensure we drive more economical, predictable operations and sustain results.

9. Arrived worldwide. B-21 will become the backbone of the U.S. bomber fleet and is crucial to supporting the U.S. strategic deterrence strategy. In addition to advanced long-range precision strike capabilities that enable combat commanders to strike any target anywhere at risk in the world, it is designed as a major component of a larger family of systems that will provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, electronic attacks and multi-domain network capabilities. In a dynamic global security environment, B-21 will provide flexibility and deterrence that is essential to the security of the United States and our allies.

0. Raider. The B-21 Raiders were named in memory of the World War II 's Doolittle raid, when 80 pilots led by Lieutenant Colonel James "Jimmy" Doolittle and 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers set out to perform missions that changed the course of World War II. The actions of these 80 volunteers help change the momentum of the Pacific War Zone. This marks that this raid has become a catalyst for many progress in the United States in terms of land and sea air superiority in the future. The bravery of the Doolittle raid is the inspiration behind the name of the B-21 raid.
