About this title

Synopsis

"This book reveals the secrets held within each facet of the plane - how it was designed, how it was built, how it is used and how it was kep secret." "Lockheed F-117A is packed with photos that reveal every feature of the plane from the electrostatic pitot tubes at the tip of the nose to the upward-swept platypus that hides the exhaust. These photos illustrate a facet-by-facet technical analysis that explains how each feature is designed to cloak the F-117A from enemy radar." "LockheedF-117A also provides the first look inside the Skunk Works at the development process for their unique planes. From the first design breakthroughs, to the first flight of the Have Blue prototype through delivery of production aircraft, they were pioneering technologies that have changed military aviation forever."
