Differences between the old stealth bomber and the new one
- BMc2020 4y agoslender, barely-there air intakes. B-21 is perhaps only 22 feet or so shorter than that of the B-2 deeper and broader keel than the B-2 techniques used on the B-21 to reduce the use of tape and improve the aircraft’s stealth resiliency. an unusual geometry of two trapezoidal forward windows and two long side widows. landing gear doors on the B-21 are more simplified “beak” at the very tip of its leading edge. A brief side view of the B-21 at the rollout showed that feature also exists on the new bomber, though it is set further ahead of the windscreen and is longer and flatter. the B-21 wears an overall light gray, possibly FS36375 “Light Compass Ghost Gray,” which may aid in reducing its visual and infrared signature in the daytime.
