The new bomber, built by Northrop Grumman, will be the backbone of the Air Force's bomber fleet once it enters service in a few years.
Northrop Grumman CEO and President Kathy Warden called the plane the"most capable stealth bomber ever built." The Air Force and Northrop Grumman revealed the B-21 Raider in dramatic fashion during the livestream, with the plane covered by a massive shroud that slid away as the bomber emerged from its hangar, backlit by blue light. The lighting of the aircraft during the ceremony kept many parts of the bomber hidden in shadow, but the futuristic, flying-saucer-like design was plain to see from the angle the public was allowed.
