F117A nickname "Nightingale"
The world's first mass-produced fighter with stealth capabilities. Although it is the "F" series number, he does not have air combat capabilities at all, and is a ground attack aircraft! It is entirely a product of the Cold War, derived from the "have blue" project of the late seventies. Limited to the technical level at that time, the pursuit of the ultimate infrared and radar stealth design, Lei Xiaohang believes that it is the "most personalized" shape of the aircraft, there is no one! In addition to the shape, speed and range, especially the maneuverability have been greatly compromised, flying it is like flying a passenger plane, you have to turn slowly, and the slightest carelessness will cause a crash. No wonder the first production aircraft crashed on its first flight, and there were two more plane crashes during training until it was shot down in 1999. It is also a great irony that this aircraft, known for its ability to evade radar, was eventually shot down by old-fashioned anti-aircraft (radar) missiles and gradually withdrew from the stage of history! It became the world's first stealth aircraft to be shot down.
