Basic static tests of the B-21 Raider have recently been completed, and the aircraft's structural integrity has been confirmed. The tests ensured that the design of the aircraft was reliable and matched the previously created digital models. At the next stage, the long-term durability of the plane's airframe will be tested. After these tests are completed, the B-21 will be transferred to Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota — the main operating base for the aircraft.
