You can assume it’s already flown.

New rendering released by the Air Force.

Those are funky looking cockpit windows.

I'm assuming that it has something to do with its RCS.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Very pointy. Looks like it has a beak almost.

a reply to: grey580

That portion is similar to the B-2. The fuselage is deeper, and has a wider bomb bay than the B-2, the windscreen doesn't have the framing that the B-2 does, the wing to body join is different, and the wing tip is thicker.

I'm not seeing the air intakes. Maybe the angle isn't right to see them.

a reply to: grey580

They're hiding them. The intakes and exhaust are always pretty closely held areas on stealth aircraft. We were allowed to look anywhere we wanted on the B-2, except the cockpit, intake, and exhaust.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I guess that they didn't want that leaking out. Very cool pic.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Desert camo?, no matte black?...

a reply to: drwire

Two tone grey. The B-2 battleship grey underneath, and the standard AF grey on top.

a reply to: Zaphod58

it will has a "fatter belly" than B2?.

a reply to: drwire

The fuselage is deeper than the B-2. It's a single bay, but it will be wider than the bays on the B-2.

a reply to: Zaphod58

less doors?

Trailing edge looks different as well.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Hmmmm...wonder how these ladies got so lucky...

I think there are a few B-2 cockpit photos but of an early prototype and not the operational version. And of course, with the version above, everything is switched off...

There you have it guys: get some plastic surgery to give you cheerleader looks and you'll be doing your Miss December spread in the NGAD demonstrator...

a reply to: Borys

that hose/cable doesn't really look like a gentex hook up.

if it isn't a air hook up for the copilots mask i wonder what it is

That appears to be the cockpit of 90127 that crashed on takeoff from Guam

They must be pretty confident in the final design if they have 5 on the go..
