FYI to DLR "Switchblade" ATI wind tunnel force moment No. 7 DLR members, go to F-117A BlackJet link. Switchblade is Skunk Works/Rockwell Special Project, Experimental Design group, formerly headed by Melvin Wolfbane
Go to Aircraft Losses 11/16/87 - see iamge (remember an
eye for detail).
"Gene" Salvay. The image on the "Blackjet" link, losses, UN-ID a/c, 11/16/87. On the F-117 Nighthawk that the nose gear leg is at the rear of the nose gear
door and retracts fwd. On the image on the Blackjet link, the nose gear leg is at the front of the nose gear door and retract aft. Plus! Note on the image that the bottom fwd fuselage is deeper and more angled than on an F-117 Nighthawk.
