The world’s first glimpse of an actual Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider on Dec. 2 introduced some new features and confirmed details of previously known design elements. Although U.S. Air Force and Northrop officials stopped short of showing the full aircraft and released no dimensions or specifications, the event dramatically improved understanding of some of the new stealth bomber’s features and capabilities.
