The aircraft has two weapons bays, one for each of its primary weapons, which are 2,000 pound laser-guided bombs. The aircraft is fitted with an exceptionally accurate weapons computer.Though surpassed by more modern stealth aircraft like the F-22 and F-35, the F-117 offers a unique blend of capabilities that are still relevant for training purposes. Its continued use highlights the adaptability of military assets and the enduring value of stealth technology in modern warfare training and tactics.F-117, single-seat, twin-engine jet fighter-bomber built by the Lockheed Corporation (now part of the Lockheed Martin Corporation) for the U.S. Air Force. It was the first stealth aircraft—i.e., an aircraft designed entirely around the concept of evading detection by radar and other sensors.
What is the top speed of the F-117 : The maximum speed is 623 mph (1,003 km/h; 541 kn) at high altitude, the max rate of climb is 2,820 feet (860 m) per minute, and service ceiling is 43,000 to 45,000 feet (13,000 to 14,000 m).
How many F-117 shot down
single aircraft A single aircraft was shot down in combat over Serbia on March 27, 1999, and the F-117 fleet was officially retired on April 22, 2008. The remaining airframes entered climate-controlled storage at Tonopah, with several being maintained in flyable condition for the Air Force Flight Test Center.
Can the F-117 carry nukes : Deployed tactical nuclear weapons are now restricted to various modifications to the B-61 gravity, or free-fall, bomb. US aircraft capable of delivering this weapon are the A-4, A-6, A-7, AV-8B, F-4, F-15, F-16, F-18, F-111, and presumably the F-117 stealth fighter.
The F-117 is painted black because it was predominately used in night attack missions during combat and that color was thought to be able to blend more into the night sky on those missions it flew. It was the first ever shootdown of a stealth technology airplane. The pilot ejected safely and was rescued by U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen conducting search and rescue.
Is the F-111 supersonic
The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark is a retired supersonic, medium-range, multirole combat aircraft. Production models of the F-111 had roles that included attack (e.g. interdiction), strategic bombing (including nuclear weapons capabilities), reconnaissance and electronic warfare.Because it was an early stealth design with stiff maintenance requirements, the Air Force decided to retire the plane as a new generation of stealth aircraft — the F-22 and F-35 fighters and the B-2 bomber — emerged. But there is still life in the old Nighthawk.In nearly two decades of official operation, no F-22 Raptor stealth fighter has ever been shot down before, but there have been a few that have crashed due to accidents. 1991 (Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm) January 17 – An F/A-18C Hornet (Bureau Number 163484) was shot down by an Iraqi Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 in an air-to-air engagement. The pilot, Lieutenant Commander Michael Scott Speicher, of VFA-81 was killed but his body was not found until July 2009.
Did the F-117 ever see combat : The F-117A first saw combat during Operation Just Cause on Dec. 19, 1989, when two F-117As from the 37th TFW attacked military targets in Panama. The F-117A again went into action during Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991 when the 415th and the 416th squadrons of the 37th TFW moved to a base in Saudi Arabia.
Can the F-117 dogfight : However, even though the reduced radar cross-section (RCS) and the black radar attenuating paint make the F-117 more than suitable for DACT operations, the Nighthawk is not a dogfighting machine. 'The Nighthawk is a fighter (F-117) in name only,' Adam Daymude, former US Navy Ea-18G Growler pilot, explains on Quora.
Why is the F-22 invisible
It has a radar cross-section the size of a marble, making it virtually invisible to radar systems. It also employs advanced avionics and weapons systems, which allow it to engage targets from beyond visual range. Another notable feature is its agility. 7,680 miles per hour Mach 10 is a feat that has been previously accomplished by a manless aircraft called X-43A, developed by NASA as an experimental aircraft to test hypersonic speeds. Mach 10 is approximately a speed of 3.43 kilometers per second or 12,348 kilometers per hour, which translates to 7,680 miles per hour.In nearly two decades of official operation, no F-22 Raptor stealth fighter has ever been shot down before, but there have been a few that have crashed due to accidents.
Could the F-111 dogfight : The US Navy did not want an Air Force hand-me-down. They wanted their own fighter. To avoid accepting the F-111B, they changed the requirement during testing and said the new fighter had to be able to dogfight and be highly maneuverable. The Aardvark could do many things well, but not dogfighting.
