You’ve seen the B-2 Spirit on Google Maps, now check out new images of the B-21 Raider at Northrop Grumman’s facilities in Palmdale, California. The stealth bomber has officially commenced engine runs as part of its ground test program, an essential milestone for the program as the worldโs first sixth-generation aircraft ahead of its first flight test.
When time comes for the first flight test, it will remain a data driven event that is monitored by Northrop Grumman and the United States Air Force. This futuristic aircraft is capable of networking across the battle space to multiple systems, and into all domains, all the while being supported by a digital ecosystem throughout its lifecycle. The digital ecosystem allows the B-21 to quickly evolve through rapid technology upgrades that provide new capabilities to outpace future threats.

The B-21 Raider is a testament to Americaโs enduring advantages in ingenuity and innovation. And itโs proof of the Departmentโs long-term commitment to building advanced capabilities that will fortify Americaโs ability to deter aggression, today and into the future. Now, strengthening and sustaining U.S. deterrence is at the heart of our National Defense Strategy. This bomber was built on a foundation of strong, bipartisan support in Congress. And because of that support, we will soon fly this aircraft, test it and then move into production,” said Lloyd J. Austin III, Secretary of Defense.
