US Air Force Releases First-Ever Overhead Image of B-21 Raider Stealth Bomber

The U.S. Air Force has unveiled new images of the B-21 Raider, including the first publicly released overhead shot of the next-generation stealth bomber. The photographs were taken during the aircraft's ongoing flight test program at Edwards Air Force Base, California. This new top-down perspective offers a clear view of the B-21's advanced blended-wing body design, which is essential for its low-observable capabilities. Developed by Northrop Grumman, the B-21 is a sixth-generation strategic bomber intended to penetrate advanced air defenses. The release of these images marks a significant milestone in the highly-classified program, providing new insights into the aircraft's progress.
