The United States Air Force has released the first official overhead photograph of the new B-21 Raider stealth bomber. This new perspective offers the clearest view yet of the next-generation aircraft's design, including its engine air inlets and overall flying-wing shape. The image was captured during the bomber's ongoing flight test campaign at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Developed by Northrop Grumman, the highly classified B-21 is designed to be the backbone of the future U.S. bomber fleet. The release of this photo continues the military's strategy of gradually revealing more information about the secretive program.
