When you're invisible you don't have to be faster than that?

I'm thinking about it, and I'm not sure how hearing a loud boom gives away your position.

Stealth is nice, but radars are all the time improving.  The safest way to prevent shoot-downs it to put as much geography between the fighter and the SAM site as possible.

Doesnt matter too much, read somewhere the USAF is working on either 7 or 17 new unmanned aerial vehicle designs.

If you have both you rule, bigtime.


SR-71 was the first stealthy aircraft.
