The lockheed f-117 nighthawk was a single-seat, twin-engine stealth ground-attack aircraft formerly operated by the united states air force (usaf). The f-117a's first flight was in 1981, and it achieved initial operating capability status in october 1983. The f-117a was acknowledged" and revealed to the world in november 1988.
a product of lockheed skunk works and a development of the have blue technology demonstrator, it became the first operational aircraft initially designed around stealth technology. The f-117a was widely publicized during the persian gulf war of 1991. It was commonly called the "stealth fighter" although it was a ground-attack aircraft, making its f-designation misleading.
the air force retired the f-117 on 22 april 2008, primarily due to the fielding of the f-22 raptor and the impending introduction of the f-35 lightning ii. Sixty-four f-117s were built, 59 of which were production versions with five demonstrators/prototypes.
