US Air Force Confirms New Stealth Aircraft
DesScorp writes "Aviation Week reports that the USAF has confirmed the existence of a new, formerly secret stealth aircraft, designated RQ-170 Sentinel, developed at Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works. Rumors of a secret new jet have been flying since 2007, with longtime aviation journalist Bill Sweetman dubbing the possible aircraft 'The Beast of Kandahar' because of the urban legend-like reports from Afghanistan. The aircraft is a UAV, a pilot-less drone that appears to have some kind of reconnaissance-only mission for the time being. It's a tailless flying wing that resembles a fighter-sized B-2 bomber."
No it doesn't. Breaking windows to give the glass maker work to do doesn't create anything. A case can be made for infrastructure projects as they tend to facilitate the creation of actual things. Unfortunately, the military is in little danger of going on a diet any time soon as the US is still in "be afraid" mode.
Sigs are too short to say anything truly profound so read the above post instead.
Yes, and the Earth is really an 8-dimensional cube. The fact they has publicly acknowledged that it is round suggests that they know something far more advanced about the shape of the Earth that they are not telling us about. Also, George W. Bush must be a real supergenius working on fusion power, since he publicly came off as a retard for so many years.
And dude: just because you are paranoid does not mean that you aren't a retard. Oh, and if you think I'm a government operative who found it incredible important to spend scarce taxpayer dollars to troll you when I could have spent them on something worthwhile like icecream, here is a special message from your government to you: go fuck yourself you retarded little fuckface.
