I’m watching this in 2022 and this thing has been retired for 14 years now, but a year ago 2 of them were spotted flying over Los Angeles with a KC-135.
Been seeing these being flown lately, I don’t think their back in service but maybe we’re testing some new radar systems out? Just thought it was weird to see it
I suspect that the military has a few of their "retired" vehicles,particularly jets,in storage, mildly upgraded to keep up with the latest advances in technology and weaponry,just because it's always a good idea to have an ace up the sleeve....
The engine thrust (exhaust) is spread out and diverted slightly up to rapidly reduce the temperature, but this doesn't change the actual energy required to propel the aircraft. The actual heat source seen from a missle's perspective is confusing because there is no definitive heat plume to lock on to. The engine's are buried deep in the fuselage so their heat source can't be detected as well.
Did that guy just give away the secret to stealth? only the US has stealth stuff!...he just gave the whole world the secret! "Honey!"..."what?!"..."Get my tool box!..."
The Cockpit is perfectly placed ... Good view..... Probably the best advancement in the plane.... But the fully software defined architecture is the biggest draw back ... and no matter how much stealth coating and Anti radar things the plane is equipped with its is always vulnerable when the Hatches open.... The Moment those hatches open the electric signals are prone to be detected thereby making the Plane visible to Radars .... On a personal view the SR 71 would make a better fighter with some modifications
from SR-71 to F-117, changing the game is always the best strategy !
I saw one of these at Mildenhall air show. Was still relatively new so was surrounded by double security rings with guards.
a trick : watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
Why? Anyone could take pictures of it so it couldn’t be for intelligence purposes
1:31 every "SINGLE A$$ DETAIL" hahaha
I thought it was only me xD
Every single LAST detail
I love the invisible thing
It's cool
How is it invisible, I can see it clear as day :)
Aviation tech moves so fast

the computer that flys this beauty is pulling up and to the right.

Hopefully.. It was one of America’s most powerful bombers and they retired it because one of them were lost in combat...... ONE!!
Greetings from Dayton, Ohio...
Best museum in town! 😁 helluva place truly!
Russians: *WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!*
Russians have better planes
you guys didnt talk about the inlet wipers for ice biuld up on intakes.also ceramic bricks on exhaust for low heat signature.
Can somebody explain the diffused exhaust to me? I don't understand how the plane generates any thrust if it defuses the exhaust like that.
That's exactly what I was thinking!

It's pumping out the same volume of air, just cooled down some.

Hello Panama!
Help me check my battle-ready condition.
With no offensive weapons and being sub sonic, this should be an a117 not an f117. This is not a fighter.
If a GBU-24 isnt an offensive weapon I dont know what is!
But in all seriousness I get what you're saying and at least mostly agree. A-117.
It's designated as a strike fighter, which is basically a light bomber
No country has a answer to the b2 bomber
It s visible over Serbia 🤣
COOOOOOOOOOL BEANS

Rapier missile system can lock onto this
More 🙏🗿🙏POWER TO YOU GUYS 👦 👦🙏🙏®🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸®®®
Sorry we did not know it was invisible
yeah we didn't know either in serbia
