The US Air Force is planning to unveil the most advanced aircraft ever created early next month after spending nearly $203 billion on the program.

The B-21 Raider stealth bomber will be unveiled at the Northrop Grumman facility in Palmdale, California, on December 2.

The bomber was designed to carry out long-range bombing and nuclear missions employing cutting edge stealth technologies.

There are currently six bombers being built in Palmdale at the cost of about $2 billion per aircraft. They are expected to be flying in 2023.  

The Air Force and Northrop began developing the bomber in 2015 after the aerospace and defense company won the contract to design and produce the aircraft.

The advanced aircraft was named after the Doolittle Raiders - a team of B-21 bomber crewmen from World War II known for their daring and bravery.

Representatives for Northrop called the B-21 'pioneering' and 'technological excellence.'

'The B-21 is the most advanced military aircraft ever built and is a product of pioneering innovation and technological excellence,' said Northrop sector vice president and general manager Dough Young. 

'The Raider showcases the dedication and skills of the thousands of people working every day to deliver this aircraft,' he added.

Full details about the bomber have been kept tightly under wraps, with next to nothing having been revealed about the aircraft.
