A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) and produced from 1987 to 2000. The bomber can drop conventional and thermonuclear weapons, such as up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.
TheLockheed F-117 Nighthawkis an American single-seat,twin- enginestealthattack aircraftthat was developed byLockheed’ssecretiveSkunk Worksdivision.The USAF Nighthawk was the first operational aircraft to be designed aroundstealth technology. Itsmaiden flight took place in 1981, and the Nighthawk was shrouded in secrecy until it was revealed to the public in 1988.The F-117 was widely publicized for its role in the PersianGulf Warof 1991. Although it was commonly referred to as the "Stealth Fighter", it was strictly an attack aircraft.
The Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics YF-22 is an American single-seat, twin-engine fighter aircraft technology demonstrator designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The design was a finalist in the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition, and two prototypes were built for the demonstration/validation phase of the competition. The YF-22 team won the contest against the YF-23 team for full-scale development, and the design was developed into the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
Stealth-5th Generation Jet Aircraft
Stealth aircraft are designed to avoid detection using a variety of technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared visible light, radio frequency spectrum, and audio, collectively known as stealth technology.
Well-known modern examples of Stealth U.S. aircraft include the United States' F-117 Nighthawk (1981–2008), the B-2 Spirit, the F-22 Raptor, and the F-35 Lightning II. This is an absolutely stunningly detailedCollection of U.S Air Force Stealth Aircraft available to purchase. See Size and Scale Section below for their measurements

Description'Space and Aviation Firsts'© 2024.
The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions.
Along with the B-52 and B-1B, the B-2 provides the penetrating flexibility and effectiveness inherent in manned bombers. Its low-observable, or "stealth," characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most valued, and heavily defended, targets. Its capability to penetrate air defenses and threaten effective retaliation provide an effective deterrent and combat force well into the 21st century.
The blending of low-observable technologies with high aerodynamic efficiency and large payload gives the B-2 important advantages over existing bombers. Its low-observability provides it greater freedom of action at high altitudes, thus increasing its range and a better field of view for the aircraft's sensors. Its unrefueled range is approximately 6,000 nautical miles (9,600 kilometers).
The B-2's low observability is derived from a combination of reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures. These signatures make it difficult for the sophisticated defensive systems to detect, track and engage the B-2. Many aspects of the low-observability process remain classified; however, the B-2's composite materials, special coatings and flying-wing design all contribute to its "stealthiness."
The U.S. Air Force Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk was the first operational aircraft to be designed around stealth technology. Its maiden flight took place in 1981, and the Nighthawk was shrouded in secrecy until it was revealed to the public in 1988, going on to achieve international fame in the 1991 Gulf War.A stunning example of the first generation of stealth technology, the subsonic F-117 saw first combat during Operation Desert Storm in 1990/91, and did not take a single hit from formidable anti-aircraft defenses during that entire campaign. with its subsequent ‘gulf war’ reputation preceding its further conflict operations in the later 1990s.
The YF-22 has a similar aerodynamic layout and configuration as the F-22, but with notable differences in the overall shaping such as the position and design of the cockpit, tail fins and wings, and in internal structural layout.In the 1980s, the USAF began looking for a replacement for its fighter aircraft, especially to counter the advanced Su-27 and MiG-29. A number of companies, divided into two teams, submitted their proposals. Northrop and McDonnell Douglas submitted the YF-23. Lockheed, Boeing and General Dynamics proposed and built the YF-22, which, although marginally slower and having a larger radar cross-section, was more agile than the YF-23. The Lockheed team was picked by the Air Force as the winner of the ATF in April 1991. Following the selection, the first prototype was retired to a museum, while the second continued flying until an accident relegated it to the role of an antenna test vehicle.

It is the nature of the Space and Aviation market that Space and Aircraft Models and Kits of importantspace or aviation flight vehiclestend to be limited in production and sell very quickly. An example is the premier diecast models like these.All production 'runs' are limited with no guarantees that there will be more.Consequently, they become Limited Editions in their own right. Some models may be 're-launched' on significant anniversaries. I suggest when an opportunity presents itself, make the decision for your model collection and act!
