[@Hyposonic]

That terrifying engine roar was the chase plane. The bomber was quieter than an airliner.

[@franksmith4730]

I was putting on a golf green in july 30 years ago when all of a sudden, the green went dark and it got real loud overhead. It isn't that they are silent. It is that by the time they are loud, if you were their target, they would have already released the bombs and it is too late. It wasn't that neither of us heard a plane, it was that we didn't hear a plane worth looking up for. Until we did. We both had to sit down and watch it off into the horizon. As cool as it is today, it was *really* cool in the mid 90's.

[@Hyposonic]

@@franksmith4730 I've always argued that same point. However, it seems the B-21 is quieter than the B-2. I surmise this may be intentional to aid in areas that have acoustic early warning arrays to detect low-level aircraft.

@@DVA5656 OK. I was there. Were you?

[@gordonlloyd9335]

The B 21 is actually incredibly quiet by design. The roar you hear is the F 15 chase plane that's not on screen. I cannot wait for us to have 100 of these marvels operational. Our adversaries, for all their bluster and imitation, are decades behind.

[@DonVideoGuy007]

The chase plane is actually a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon and operated by a NASA pilot, and it can be seen in this video - at the 01:42 time code mark, just off of the B-21 Raider's starboard wing.

[@randyduncan795]

Are you sure? Have you noticed that the White House is bought & paid for by the Chinese or that they've stolen every piece of intellectual property we have because we're too corrupt, incompetent, or just downright stupid to stop them? Electric naval propulsion systems and the F35 are some examples.

[@pahtar7189]

Part of the roar was the wind whistling through the extended landing gear.

[@Cody38Super]

Then you would have heard a whistle....not a roar. Besides you're not going to hear whistling wind through landing gear over that kind of volume and distance.....did you also hear the pilot scratching his ass ? ! ? Lol. How about when he turned on the blinker/turning indicator, did you hear it going click, click, click.....

[@MaddoxLyrics]

@@lhkraut Yes, also, the B-21 is half the size of the B-2, And its the Size that the original B-2 was supposed to be until they made it larger due to issues, with the new bomber they were able to perfect it back to the size they origiinally wanted, thats why it doesent have a Sawtooth design like the B-2, because its simply smaller.

[@larryjackson6238]

This plane is most likely already operational. Just like the F117, when it became publicly known, it was already operational for several years.

[@MrWilderNapalm]

It actually was flying combat missions for a full decade before that infamous photograph that appeared on the cover of Aviation Weekly in May 1989. So I agree with you she has been flying for awhile.

[@factChecker01]

If the B-21 is better than the B-2, then it must be a FANTASTIC airplane. Northrop Grumman really knows how to make stealth bombers. (I worked for a competitor, but I admire their planes.)

[@phoenixrising4073]

It should have only marginally better stealth over the B2, which is already incredibly stealthy, but only carries half the payload. I think these will be a great asset, but they will lack the immediate response you can get from a B1 Lancer, unless of course we are able to saturate an area with f35s on the ready. I'm sure our military strategists know best, but I don't like the thought of this one aircraft replacing all of our other bombers. Anywho

[@factChecker01]

@@phoenixrising4073 , I think there is more emphasis on stealth in the long wavelengths where the B2 is not as stealthy. For some reason, it helps to reduce the number of zig-zags on the trailing edges of the wings. I don't know anything about it.

[@phoenixrising4073]

@factChecker01 I might speculate that perhaps the overall size of the airframe would affect the long wavelength detection as well as the geometry. From what I understand, other stealth platforms can still be detected by longer wavelengths, but the detection information is more of a general direction and is not what is needed for a highly accurate weapons lock. If what you're saying is correct, these planes should be virtually invisible to all radar. Interesting times indeed.

[@r9337s]

What a beautiful roar! Man I wished I lived around there!

[@lxgaucher]

No, you actually don't. The first B-21 flight was out of U.S. Air Force Plant 42, a classified airbase in Palmdale CA. Aside from the land occupied by the airbase and the road leading to it, Palmdale is generally a hellhole you would not want to live in. And the same goes for nearby Lancaster.

[@jsauerii]

This was the first video to show whatever is being towed by it. The day of the flight I mentioned seeing the tag along following it in a few spots on the then released video but everyone said i was seeing things. This one shows it well and even the reflection of the tether cable / line.

[@jadesea562]

Lift, from wing construction to create a pressure differential. A flying wing design vs a fuselage design can actually generate more complete lift because the entire body as the wing generates the lift instead of just the wings attached to the central fuselage structure.

[@dextermorgan1]

The B2 and presumably the B 21 also utilize the Burr-Brown effect to create lift. I don't understand it, but I know it uses it.

[@Orbital_Inclination]

Broadly irrelevant, because to get a firing solution you still need a lock from a fire control radar if you want to have any sort of decent range

[@douginorlando6260]

After it is detected, it’s approximate position is known, then a missile can be directed to intercept (including mid course updates) until the missile is close enough to use it’s own sensors

[@Orbital_Inclination]

@@douginorlando6260 that's fair enough, electronic warfare (inc missile seeker/countermeasures etc) is a game of probabilities and nothing is ever totally safe, but there's a lot the attacker can do in this situation too to lower the odds of being intercepted. At at very basic level, the fact they'll be using a B-21 instead of a B-52 already gives them a massive advantage, due to lower RCS and IR signature. Then there's very long range stand-off weapons that could keep the aircraft out of harms way almost entirely. There's also the fact that at such long ranges, any change in flight path will sap a huge amount of energy from an approaching missile. Then there's the usual decoys, jamming, directed and passive countermeasures, etc. That all leaves a lot of chances for things to go either right or wrong from both sides.

What I saw was the unmistakable bottom of the B-2 making a practice run going from west to south. It was probably about 500 or so feet in the black sky. There was NOT a sound, no engine roar totally silent as it flew over and as it banked to the south. When it turned I was able to see it from the rear and I could not see the light of the flame from the engines.
