Defense One: USAF to Unveil B-21 Stealth Bomber in December 

The strategic bomber has been developed in near-total secrecy at Northrop Grumman's plant in Palmdale, California. 

The U.S. Air Force will roll out its new B-21 stealth bomber the first week of December, the service's top weapons buyer said Tuesday. 

Andrew Hunter, the assistant Air Force secretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, gave no more details, not even a location for the rollout, which is expected to mark the first public view of the aircraft, which has been developed in near-total secrecy. 

He spoke Tuesday at the Air and Space Forces Association’s Air, Space & Cyber conference outside Washington, D.C. Northrop Grumman is building the B-21 at a factory in Palmdale, California. The aircraft is expected to make its first flight in 2023.
