The world’s first stealth-oriented aircraft, the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, took its first flight.
While often referred to as a stealth fighter, the F-117’s military capabilities are limited to attacks on the ground. It’s not difficult to spot when you look at it with your eyes, but then that would usually be far too late to do anything about it. What makes it stealthy comes down to its design, which makes it incredibly hard to track via radar.
