F-117A Blackjet Lockheed History:
The F-117 Black Jet, also known as the "Nighthawk", was
manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The F-117 was built to be used by
the U.S Air Force. The U.S decided to develop a full-scale,
radar-evading fighter. The F-117 had its first flight in June 1981.
The F-117A, a Black Jet variant, may look as if it were built for
use by alien beings, but it is actually flown by flesh-and-blood
humans like Capt. Phil McDaniel (above), a pilot with the 37th
Tactical Fighter Wing. Any way you look at it, the F-117A is an
unusual aircraft. Its design and development were also out of the
ordinary.
The F-117A is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack
systems integrated into a digital avionics suite. It carries no
radar, which lowers emissions and cross-section. It navigates
primarily by GPS and high-accuracy inertial navigation. Missions are
coordinated by an automated planning system that can automatically
perform all aspects of a strike mission, including weapons release.
Targets are acquired by a thermal imaging infrared system, slaved to
a laser that finds the range and designates targets for laser-guided
bombs.
