It may have been posted in this topic in the past, I don't know, but I will post it anyway.
Below is a preliminary estimate from december 2019 of how the B-21 would look like and how big/small it would be, based on "
public comments and/or public reports" as they call it.
We know now that the inlets and the windows are different, but the reason I post it is merely to illustrate that a flying wing that has only a slightly smaller span and fuselage length can be considerably smaller in total total size.
The B-21 in the image has about 140 ft span, but the total weight is likely to be only about two-thirds of that of the B-2.
Note also that the roll-out showed that the B-21 has only half the number of main undercarriage wheels of the B-2 so there must be a considerable difference in weight.
According to the text: "
The B-21 is believed to be somewhat smaller than the B-2, with a payload of around 30,000-pounds, just large enough to carry one GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator precision-guided conventional bomb, the largest in the Air Force inventory."
It seems only one bomb bay instead of two, and more fuel capacity to achieve longer range than B-2.
Four years into development, the Air Force is starting to reveal more about the B-21 bomber.

Yes, I know this is three years old, but be prepared for a disappointment in future when the actual dimensions and payload of the B-21 become public.
