800px-F-117 Nighthawk Front

History== The Nighthawk is a American Stealth Bomber/Fighter produced by Lockheed Martin. It was the first aircraft to exploit the use of low-observability stealth technology, using the technology this craft can penetrate deep into high-threat airspace undetected by enemy radar and use prescision systems to bomb enemy targets.

The development of the Nighthawk began in 1978 after 3 years of secret stealth research. It had a test flight in 1981 but it was not until 1988 that its existence was revealed to the general public.

A total of 64 of these aircraft have been produced.
