Boeing publishes photos of 1960s stealth plane experiment

Pretty cool for the 60s. Even more impressive if they released RCS numbers to compare to the SR-71 and F-117<p>My first thought is it looks like a cross between the X-47B [0] and the RQ-4 Global Hawk [1]. Interestingly, both of those came out of Northrop Grumman years later.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Northrop_Grumman_X-47B" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Northrop_Grumman_X-47B</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global_Hawk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global_H...</a>

Woah. It&#x27;s crazy how similar the air frame design is to all of the 5th gen stealth fighters being produced.

I always thought that when they revealed it they should have published photos of empty sky, saying &quot;Look! There it goes!&quot;

Wow, if the design that resulted in those now-well-known aesthetic qualities goes back that far, I wonder what they&#x27;re thinking is new and cool these days.

One question, in case anyone here knows: if the &quot;1948 &#x27;Key West Agreement&#x27; (PDF) that put jet fixed-wing aircraft purely in the domain of the Air Force&quot; is a thing, then how come the Navy runs the Blue Angels? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.blueangels.navy.mil&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.blueangels.navy.mil&#x2F;</a>
