Probably much less than 20 years. Perhaps less than 5. Rumors are that the prototypes are flying now and. People have been noticing that there are extra large hangers built at Groom Lake in the past few years. That would fit with the black project status the program has been running in until now.

Take a look at the X-47B and imagine it a lot larger with a cockpit and that could be Northup/Grumman's candidate. Add the stealth design from the B-2 and the technology developed for the F-22/35 and you have the B-3.

The one that is 20 years down the road would be the 'B-4/SR-72' hypersonic bomber.
