F-117 Nighthawk

The F-117 Nighthawk, another of the line of genius that was Kelly Johnson, Ben Johnson, and the Lockheed Skunk Works. Though designated "F" for Fighter, the F-117 was a light bomber. The F-117 is a mission specific stealth aircraft whose sole purpose is to penetrate enemy defenses and strike high priority targets such as command and control centers. This aircraft could never fly without the advanced computer flight control systems which constantly make corrections in flight far faster than any human could. Without the flight control computers this is a flying brick! Among the published low radar profile components, even birds show up on radar, are the unique angular shapes, no right angles and a parabolic shaped underside to the aircraft. Even the cockpit glass is special to deflect radar energy. The F-117 has no active radar and no guns, as either would emit energy which could identify the location of the aircraft and make it vulnerable to attack. Ths aircraft is not high speed nor is it highly maneuverable, it relys on stealth to get to the target, deploy weapons and depart the area undetected. The F-117 flew nightly operations right over the top of the "UFO observors" around Groom Lake (Area 51), and not one of those so called experts saw a thing. A true testament to the effectiveness of the shape and design of the aircraft.

what are tail fins needed fore?

[TJDOZIER1]

They serve the dual purpose of vertical and horizontal stabilizers. They are designed and shaped such that they present a minimal radar cross section.

American claims that it is not capable of stealth aircraft on radar detection of the same. On the fact the aircraft is able to detect radar and dropped.

@lxXMETALXxl because that would make America look like a hick cesspool in front of the globe!!!!

[AigisFan]

it isnt unbeatable, true. nothing is. but rather hard to hit what you cant see physically or on radar. if you use this thing in broad daylight you may well just throw a grenade in the cockpit becuase you have defeated its purpose entirely and actually.... you just did what you were complaining about in a way. :P

[lxXMETALXxl]

Waaaaiit.... If an American jet was shot down over Serbia... Why are we not nuking Serbia right now?
