Even At Half The Cost, The B-21 Will Still Be Pricier Per Hour Than A Jumbo Jet

The US Air Force (USAF) is taking delivery of its first sixth-generation stealth bomber, the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider. In addition to being stealthier, more rugged, and packed with more technology than its predecessor, the B-2 Spirit, the B-21s are also supposed to be much cheaper per flight hour. The Raider is slated to cost $65,000 per hour, half the price of its predecessor.
