Synopsis

A complete history of the Stealth Fighter program - from its inception all the way through the F-117As deployment in Operation Desert Storm. You'll find out: * Why the F-117A needs a three-axis computer system just to be able to fly; * The secrets of its amazing accuracy on targets; * How it achieves such good performance on nonaugmented (nonafterburning) engines; * What modifications are in the works to make the F-117A even more stealthy. From the radical design of its semiflying wing configuration, to its multifaceted jewel/prism-cut panels designed to deflect radar beams, the stealth fighter is unlike anything else in the air today, and will probably be the model for every military aircraft designed well into the 21st century.
