摘要

Today is a very special day, for, as we turn this last F-117A over to the Air Force, we celebrate the completion of the production phase of a unique aircraft program.rnIt's not often that one has the opportunity to develop and field an aircraft that represents a true technological breakthrough. And the F-117 is just that—the world's first very low observable fighter aircraft. It certainly is an odd-looking flying machine, all black, flat surfaces, highly swept wing and V-tail, and grids over the inlets. Yet it is a sterling example of what American ingenuity and hard work can create in response to a critical need.rnIn the 1970s, the Soviet Union had begun developing and deploying new early warning radars, surface-to-air missiles, and fighter aircraft. These new systems posed a major threat to our conventional fighter and bomber forces. At the same time, technology breakthroughs in very low observables were emerging, which offered the potential to counter the menacing threat buildup. And working together, the Defense Department, Air Force, and Lockheed structured the F-117 program to capitalize on these breakthroughs by rapidly developing and fielding an operational stealth fighter. The result is the F-117A stealth fighter, an aircraft with dramatically reduced signatures, which can avoid detection, penetrate heavily defended airspace, and attack critical targets with extreme accuracy.
