So when the general in charge of the two most important jets in the U.S. Air Force\u2019s future stands up and says both are running <em>ahead<\/em> of schedule, it is worth a second look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is exactly what Gen. Dale White, the service\u2019s director of Critical Major Weapon Systems, told an industry audience on July 29 at Life Cycle Industry Days in Dayton, Ohio. His message, reported this week: the B-21 Raider stealth bomber and the F-47 next-generation fighter are both moving faster than planned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 22px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:8px;border:1px solid #e5e5e5\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:18px\">Informations cl\u00e9s<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8\"><li><strong>OMS:<\/strong> Gen.

It first flew from Plant 42 in Palmdale in November 2023, and a second aircraft joined the test campaign at Edwards Air Force Base in September 2025. White says the first operational Raider will be &ldquo;on the ramp&rdquo; at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota in 2027, joining a squadron next year in the run-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That timeline, he said, moved left because the program was accelerated by roughly 25% thanks to a $4.5 billion one-time cash injection. Northrop Grumman is building toward a rate of seven operational bombers a year, and the Air Force still dreams of a fleet of 100 &mdash; enough to eventually replace both the B-1 Lancer and the aging <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/fr\/aeronef\/b-2-esprit\/\">B-2<\/a>. The venerable <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/fr\/aeronef\/b-52-stratofortress\/\">B-52 Stratofortress<\/a>, meanwhile, is being re-engined and modernized to soldier on as the second manned bomber into mid-century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;Physical proof our warfighting-focused acquisition mindset can and will work.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Gen.

White described planning for the Boeing-built Next Generation Air Dominance fighter as being in a state of &ldquo;unprecedented maturity,&rdquo; and made a promise with a political clock attached to it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;The F-47 will fly in this administration.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Gen. Dale White<\/strong> &mdash; Director of Critical Major Weapon Systems, U.S. Air Force (Dayton, 29 July 2026)<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Air Force plans to buy 185 F-47s, with a first flight targeted for 2028. It is designed to replace the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/fr\/aeronef\/f-22-raptor\/\">F-22 Raptor<\/a> as the service\u2019s primary air-superiority fighter, and to fly alongside Collaborative Combat Aircraft &mdash; the autonomous &ldquo;loyal wingman&rdquo; drones meant to multiply a single pilot\u2019s reach. The 2027 budget request sets aside $5.03 billion for the program.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Optimism, With an Asterisk<\/h2>\r\n<p>A note of caution is fair. &ldquo;Ahead of schedule&rdquo; is a claim made by the man whose job is to deliver these jets, and every big program looks healthy until the year it slips. The F-47 has not flown, and a 2028 first flight is still a promise, not a milestone. The B-21\u2019s test campaign is real and visibly progressing, but low-rate production is where stealth programs historically stumble.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Still, the direction is striking. In an era when American procurement is better known for delay and cost growth, two of its most secretive, most expensive programs are being described as early. If White is right, the next decade of American air power is arriving sooner than anyone dared plan for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h-78zMu2s6A\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#777;font-size:14px\">Sources: Stars and Stripes; Air Data News; defence-industry.eu; U.S. Air Force.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Articles similaires<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/b-21-raider-two-pilot-crew-confirmed-2026\/\">Pas de robot aux commandes : le B-21 conserve deux pilotes.<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/j-36-range-f-47-taiwan-pacific-gap-2026\/\">Le J-36 chinois peut atteindre Ta\u00efwan, contrairement au F-47.<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/b-21-raider-no-show-america-250-flyover-2026\/\">Le bombardier furtif qui est rest\u00e9 chez lui<\/a><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A top Air Force general says both the B-21 Raider and the F-47 fighter are running ahead of schedule.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":9443311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[664,670],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9443519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military-aviation","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
