Back in the late 50s the CIA ran a project testing a stealth material prototype on the U-2, and no one knew about until a couple years ago.

Lame joke aside, I do find it hard to believe that we have TWO generations of "stealth" blackhawks that virtually no one knows anything about. Zero electromagnetic radiation emission and invisible to radar? I imagine that one can only go so far when making a helicopter stealthy. I will be reading that book though, for better or worse.JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904018154091929485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098674444128189886.post-17507657827211537382011-11-08T16:44:09.332-06:002011-11-08T16:44:09.332-06:00Huh...well that's interesting.
