The U.S. military has kept its new B-21 stealth bomber under tight wraps for years. We only just got our first look at that sucker in December:

Now we're getting a closer look at this thing, and it really is a thing of deadly beauty:

Two new images of the B-21 Raider next-generation stealth bomber have been released by the U.S. Air Force. One is a detailed close-up of the B-21's nose and cockpit section, the other provides us with the first look at the planform of the secretive new jet, which aims to replace the B-2 and the B-1.

An incredible shot of the cockpit, which kinda looks like a fried egg with sunglasses, but very much in a cool way:

A full view of the craft, meanwhile, showcases its sleek, radar-beating wingspan:

The Air Force is hoping its newest design will be a pack leader:

These new images emerge as the Air Force is shedding light on its most important programs at this year's Air Force Association Warfare Symposium outside of Denver, Colorado, in which The War Zone is in attendance. During a keynote address today, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall stated the following about B-21:

"The B-21, which we rolled out just a few months ago, will be the centerpiece for our Global Strike family of systems. The B-21 is projected to begin flight tests later this calendar year. Our goal is to get into production as quickly as possible with acceptable concurrency risk… overlapping some testing production."
