The Birth of Stealthy F-117 Night Hawk: Lockheed Have Blue

“Lockheed Have Blue was the code name for Lockheed’s proof of concept demonstrator for a stealth fighter. This aircraft was designed by Lockheed’s Skunk Works division and tested at Groom Lake, Nevada. The Have Blue was the first fixed-wing aircraft whose external shape was defined by radar engineering rather than by aerospace engineering. The aircraft’s faceted shape was designed to deflect electromagnetic waves in directions other than that of the originating radar emitter, greatly reducing its radar cross-section. The Have Blue was deemed a success, paving the way for the first operational stealth aircraft, Senior Trend, or Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk. In this video, we will explore the history of Lockheed Have Blue, its design, and its impact on the aviation industry. Join us as we take a deep dive into the world of stealth aircraft and the fascinating story of Lockheed Have Blue.”
