Videos & DVD Movies of the
F-117 Nighthawk Stealth
Fighter. The F-117 is the very first of the totally stealth
aircraft. Using the engines and landing gear from the
F-18 Hornet and fitted
with a faceted fuselage, this
aircraft borrowed some old technology and
added the all new stealth aircraft to the modern battlefield. For
the Stealth Fighters, to remain stealthy, they had to carry their weapons
in the inside of the fuselage. Also, with all of the very non-aerodynamic
facets, the F-117 Stealth Fighters had to have specially built flight computers
so the pilot could remain in control of the aircraft. Although
this plane is called a fighter, it carries no guns, cannot go supersonic
and is used only for night bombing raids. The F-117 proved
itself very effective in delivering very large, precision guided bombs
in the Gulf War. One question that I have for the readers is do the
F117 Stealth Fighters have a radar? If so, how do they keep the ground radar
returns from bouncing off of the fuselage and getting into the antenna, then
reflecting back to the source?
The modern stealth airplane is defined as a plane with a low radar return
signature. However, another unknown stealth factor is that
the internal electronics produce a very low emission of radio frequencies.
To further understand this type of emission, you can test this yourself
by taking a hand calculator or a camera strobe and holding it near the
antenna of an AM radio. Tune the radio to a place where there is no
station playing. Flash the strobe then listen to its recharge
on the radio or play with the calculator and listen to the logic gates
switch on and off. These are radio spectrum emissions. Military
aircraft design engineers go through great lengths to squelch these types
of emissions so that they will not give off radio waves that can be detected by
the enemy. Fly

The Phantom, SideWinder and Skyhawk filled the skies over Southeast Asia more than two decades ago, becoming emblematic of the war's most vital chapters. And in a testament to their longevity all three are still in service today. Nighthawk: Secrets of the Stealth The F-117 Nighthawk, better known as the Stealth Fighter, has been flying since the 1980s. But until the Gulf War erupted, almost nothing was known about this hidden-to-radar aircraft. Now, follow the chronological development of the Nighthawk as interviews with engineers and designers reveal key facts about the world's most invisible jet fighter. ASIN: B000I0559I from 30.99 |

You gotta see this one. Four out of four viewers gave this
movie a one star rating. In order to get this bad of a rating, the
movie must have really stunk. Maybe it's a stealthy good movie,
you just can't see the good in it.
