And yes, "common" people did know, just not a whole lot of them. Just because they weren't in airshows for locals to gawk at doesn't mean they were totally unheardof. Besides, I've worked on the F117. So =P njch412, stealth technology was developed and in use in the 50′s. And yes, “common” people did know, just not a whole lot of them.

Besides, I’ve worked on the F117. So =P

You guys are complete assholes and every woman related to you is a filthy whore.

Which in my context means I love you guys.

The predecessor for this is already available. When I say the idea of a stealth fighter was unimaginable. The commn people had no idea of knowing that this cold exist while this is a much more possible invention than the F-22A.

I pointed out that its immediate predecessor was already in service and the prototype had already been build, which is far beyond the "imagination" stage of development. @njch412,

If you are a scientist
nm = nanometers and you study how the universe works

If you an engineer
nm = nautical miles and you end up fucking you your Mars probe and send it crashing into the planet instead of orbiting it.

The first prototype (not a functioning fighter simply a shell that had stealth capabilities) flight of a plane that got the contract for Lockheed was then. It wasn't until 1997 that the F22 made a first successful flight, and then not until 2004 that the AF received the F22 as we know it today. And an F117 isn't a stealth fighter. It is a bomber designated with F instead of B. @reboot:

I have no clue about computer stuff, but whatever long and complex series of inventions lead to catsthatlooklikehitler.com, something my parents could never have imagined when they were my age, must have taken such a great, long series of innovative leaps forward that surely this will be remembered as a technological Golden Age.
