Aero-News Quote of the Day

"This past fall, based on the results of ground and flight tests and the team’s mature plans for manufacturing, I gave the go-ahead to begin producing B-21s at a low rate... One of the key attributes of this program has been designing for production from the start — and at scale — to provide a credible deterrent to adversaries. If you don’t produce and field to warfighters at scale, the capability doesn’t really matter."

Source: From a statement made by Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment William LaPlante, as the B-21 was cleared for initial production.
