FYI to DLR

"Switchblade" ATI wind tunnel force moment No. 7

DLR members, go to F-117A BlackJet link.
Go to Aircraft Losses 11/16/87 - see iamge (remember an
eye for detail).

Switchblade is Skunk Works/Rockwell Special Project, Experimental Design group, formerly headed by Melvin
"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.
