The single-seat attack aircraft
F-117 Nighthawk was developed by Lockheed Martin and operated by the United
States Air Force. The first prototypes were released in the ‘80s but the
“Nighthawk” project was considered classified for several years. The F-117 was
in fact developed with advanced stealth technologies designed to avoid
detection and to reduce reflection and radar emission. To enhance the stealth
features, the offensive armament was located in two internal weapons bays able
to carry more than 2,200 Kg of bombs as the laser-guided GBU Paveway or the
JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) bombs. Thanks to its two General Electric
turbofan engines the F-117 Nighthawk was able to reach the max speed of Mach
0.92. The F-117 obtained a very high media visibility during the Gulf War in
1991 and during the Balkans War.
