A lot of flak was taken, but the facts are facts. The B-21 is only slightly larger than a twin-engine fighter. Longer wings, absolutely. But see for yourselves. The inner red triangle is the footprint of the nose/mains. Point (i) is present on both images, and the podium speaker is represented by the circle. The B-21, frankly, is no bigger than a twin-engine fighter. To test that, I took the SU-27 footprint and had at it. The B-21 is tiny.
I took a dumpster dive through all of the DoD and journalistic images of the B-21. Laid them all out, hit up a few photographers, and we set out to really see if we could crack it.
