BATS:NOC   Northrop Grumman Corporation
Northrop Grumman Corp. has reported successful flight tests of its new B-21 Raider bomber, marking a significant milestone as the aircraft edges closer to entering service by the end of this decade. The success of these initial flights suggests that Northrop Grumman is on track to begin receiving substantial orders for the serial production of the B-21 as the US Army seeks to replenish and modernise its ageing bomber fleet.

The Air Force anticipates requiring at least a hundred B-21s to maintain its current fleet strength, highlighting the potential for significant production and revenue growth for Northrop Grumman.
