The USAF should buy a total of 400 B-21 Raiders. They should buy 16 per year, every year, for 25 years. This would provide unheard of stability for an aircraft supply chain, which would drive the price down to possibly as low as $500 million per aircraft in current dollars, well below the USAF’s stated goal of $550 million in constant 2010 dollars ($721 million in 2022 dollars). This would allow the USAF to make bulk purchases every 5 years for 80 aircraft, giving the USAF a larger fleet that would drive down maintenance prices and total cost of ownership. The USAF should also build 400 brand new B-52 Stratofortress bombers. They could use the same schedule, 16 per year for 25 years. A B-52 bomber could be built today for $85 million if supply chains were stabilized, and having new bombers would DRASTICALLY lower cost per flight hour down from the current $75,000 per hour down to $25,000 per hour, and maybe even $20,000 per hour. With an average of 300 flight hours per year, the USAF would save $50,000 per hour, or $15 million per year, per plane. By purchasing brand new planes, they would pay for themselves within 5 1/2 years through lowered maintenance costs. One of the biggest drains on the current USAF budget is maintenance, because the age of their aircraft is so high. The current fleet of B-52’s need something like 60 hours of maintenance for every hour they spend flying, which is extremely expensive. There comes a point where you save money from buying a new aircraft instead of continuing to dump money into maintaining an older aircraft. The USAF passed that point with most of its aircraft decades ago.
