Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk Manual

By the time the so-called 'Stealth Fighter' was acknowledged to the world in November 1988 it had already been in service with the USAF for five years. A product of the Lockheed Skunk Works, the F-117 Nighthawk was the first operational aircraft to be designed around stealth technology. Although popularly known as the stealth fighter it was actually a ground-attack aircraft.

Pana cand asa-numitul „luptator furtiv” a fost recunoscut lumii in noiembrie 1988, acesta fusese deja in serviciu cu USAF de cinci ani. Produs al Lockheed Skunk Works, F-117 Nighthawk a fost primul avion operational conceput in jurul tehnologiei stealth.
