The B-21 was manufactured using advanced manufacturing techniques and advanced stealth technology. It’s a sixth-generation aircraft, which Northrop corporate president Tom Jones said is “optimized for operations in highly contested environments.”

The aircraft, according to Northrop’s website, is designed to perform long-range conventional and nuclear missions.

The company currently has six aircraft being assembled in Palmdale, and the first B-21 is scheduled to enter flight sometime in 2023, pending ground test results.
