See Preliminary Analysis for list of B-21 possible features and analysis - too long to post here.

We will be updating this post very quickly with an analysis of what we are seeing and firsthand reporting from on the ground in Palmdale. We've also provided a section to help readers catch up on the state of the program before today's event and to better understand what we know about the B-21 and what we don't.

How can those tiny engine air inlets possibly flow enough mass for the engines? It looks like they have less area than the forced air heating outlets in our house.

The scale and angle are deceptive. If you go to the article and scroll down you can see the plane with people underneath. Those openings are abut the size of man.

They look more like a highly modified NACA duct concept.

So far, I’m just not impressed.

"Six B-21 Raiders are already in production. 100(?) planned. The B-21 honors Jimmy Doolittle's #WW2 raiders who flew B-25 Mitchell bombers off the Hornet to hit Tokyo in 1942. The new bomber is actually smaller in size and capacity than the B-2 Spirit."

It can be programed to fly itself at 60.000 feet unseen drop loan go home.
