Lockheed Have Blue
Pesawat Siluman
Lockheed Have Blue adalah nama kode untuk demonstrator Lockheed (yaitu, "bukti dari konsep") yang mendahului pesawat siluman produksi Nighthawk F-117.
Have Blue dirancang oleh divisi Skunk Works Lockheed, dan diuji di Groom Lake, Nevada. Have Blue adalah pesawat sayap tetap yang pertama dirancang dari perspektif teknik elektro (daripada teknik kedirgantaraan).[1] Pesawat itu seperti pelat, bentuk faceted dirancang untuk membelokkan gelombang elektromagnetik, sangat mengurangi sinyal radar. Dua kendaraan dibangun dapat diterbangi, tetapi keduanya jatuh selama uji program penerbangan.
