Welcome to another episode of Warbird Wednesday! The Northrop Tacit Blue was a technology demonstrator aircraft that was created to demonstrate that a low-observable stealth surveillance aircraft with a low-probability-of-intercept radar (LPIR) and other sensors could operate close to the forward line of battle with a high degree of survivability. | Palm Springs Air Museum

This is Tacit Blue, one of the more frumpy planes even built. It led to one of the most graceful and important bombers in the US inventory. Nicknamed "The Whale," this top-secret Northrop stealth demonstrator first flew in 1982 and helped prove that curved surfaces could be stealthy too. The jet was merely a tech demonstrator but its groundbreaking tech directly influenced the B-2 Spirit bomber. #b2bomber #tacitblue #USAFMuseum #avgeekery | Avgeekery.com
