Book Description This in-depth and unprecedented examination of the development of Lockheed's stealth program explains how Skunkworks designers and engineers minimize and even eliminate radar, thermal, and acoustic signatures in the U-2 spyplane, SR-71, F-117 Nighthawk, F-22 Raptor, and Lockheed's X-35 Joint Strike Fighter contender. Illustrated with photos from the company's archives and private collections, the story begins with the origins of the stealth program in 1974 and continues through the current service and battle records of the F-117 Nighthawk and F-22 Raptor, as well as the design and testing of X-35 prototypes vying with Boeing's X-32 for the Pentagon's Joint Strike Fighter contract. Respected aviation author Bill Sweetman discusses in layperson's terms the technologies and design elements that allow these incredible aircraft to evade detection. About the Author(s) An internationally recognized expert on modern military aircraft, Bill Sweetman has also written the previous MBI titles Aurora: The Pentagon's Hypersonic Spyplane, F-22 Raptor, and Inside the Stealth Bomber, among others. |
