Aerospace & Defense Roundup: July 06

July 07, 2021

USAF Releases Third B-21 Rendering, Revealing Little New

The U.S. Air Force has released a third rendering of the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider about 6-9 months ahead of a scheduled roll-out of the first test aircraft. As with the two previous renderings, the Air Force’s latest release offers only a partial glimpse of the stealth bomber’s final configuration, obscuring nearly as much as it reveals.

Lockheed Martin: 70-80 F-35s Might Meet UK Carriers’ Needs

Lockheed Martin has suggested 70-80 F-35s might be enough to fulfill the UK carriers’ air-power needs. Providing written evidence to a UK Parliamentary Defense Committee’s inquiry into the Royal Navy’s purpose and procurement process, the OEM said 70-80 aircraft would be needed to deliver a “credible and resilient Carrier Enabled Power Projection (CEPP)” capability throughout the life of the two Queen Elizabeth-class carriers: HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

Israel Forms Third F-35 Squadron, To Focus On Training

Israel has formed a third F-35 squadron, to focus on training aircrews for the fifth-generation fighter. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) announced July 4 it had re-formed 117 Sqdn. at Nevatim Air Base, the country’s main operating facility for the F-35, to train pilots to fly the Lockheed Martin-built platform, known locally as the Adir.

The company is scheduled to go public on July 13 through a merger with Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle, a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) founded by a former managing partner at luxury brand LVMH.
