Defense Tech: Air Force to Announce Name of New Stealth Bomber
The U.S. Air Force plans to announce the name of the new B-21 stealth bomber at the Air Force Association’s annual conference in September, the service announced.
The Air, Space, Cyber symposium is scheduled for Sept. 19 through Sept. 21 in National Harbor, Maryland, just south of Washington, D.C.
During a nearly three-month-long naming contest that concluded last month, the service solicited more than 4,600 entries, according to a recent press release. Here at DefenseTech, we received many a suggestion, as well.

"There is reason for such a worry. Last month, a federal trade tribunal sided with an American company that felt it was treated unfairly during a competition to provide new trucks for the army. The tribunal called for the company’s design to be retested, and if it would have won, for the government to pay compensation.
In that competition, the winning company was paid $834 million, and the loser stands to gain tens of millions of dollars, if not hundreds of millions, in compensation following the tribunal’s ruling. In the case of the F-35, that figure could easily reach the billions — all of which would be covered by taxpayers."
The people who put us in such a situation should be sentenced to hard labour... in a Baffin Island iron ore mine.
