Eli5 – How do the USA test top secret aircrafts such as the B-21?

110 views

I’m pretty sure the U.S. revealed the B -21 bomber because they have other top secret aircrafts that make the B-21 look like childs play. I don’t think we would reveal anything that would give competitive information to enemy countries. Based on those logic, how do we test out to secret aircrafts without getting caught on satellite cameras from other countries???

There’s Area 51 / Groom Lake where a lot of secret stuff is apparently tested.

F117s were [assigned to a remote base](https://jalopnik.com/keeping-stealth-stealthy-the-f-117s-secret-life-at-ton-1747371730) in Nevada and kept hidden in hangers, old trainer aircraft were parked outside to make it look active.
