The US Air Force (USAF) is closer to finishing the critical designs and “hard engineering” for the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider long-range strike bomber (LRSB), according to a service official.
Randy Walden, Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) director and programme executive officer (PEO), said on 13 August that the service is now moving toward producing the aircraft and proceeding with developmental flight test activities to inform future fixes. This is because the B-21 will not be immune from design flaws, he said.
The first B-21 test aircraft is being built and starting to look like an aircraft, Walden was quoted by the USAF as saying in a 3 August statement. Suppliers from across the country are delivering parts that are coming together.
