FASTER? PLEASE! B-21 Testing, Manufacturing Ramp Up: ‘We’re Moving Fast.’
“It’s more than construction,” Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink wrote in a social media post. “We’re moving fast to build B-21s!”
The Air Force Test Center has likewise been moving quickly to test the bomber ahead of its introduction into service next year. Brig. Gen. Mark Massaro, head of the Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up when asked about the program at an Oct. 6 event. The aircraft first flew in 2023, and two bombers are currently known to be undergoing testing at the base.
“I can’t give you many details about specifics on how it’s going, but I am very closely tied into that program and have been getting regular updates,” Massaro said during a discussion hosted by AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. “We are actively testing right now.”
Less than 30 miles away, Northrop is already building B-21s at its Air Force Plant 42 facility in Palmdale, Calif., but the new construction will add 1 million square feet of production space. Meink said it will be the “final assembly line” for new bombers.
