Tacit Blue (Whale)

This aircraft was built to test advances in stealth technology. It demonstrated that curved surfaces on an aircraft result in a low radar return signal from ground radar. The aircraft made its first flight in February 1982 and by the conclusion of the program in 1985 had flown 135 times.
