Dive into the thrilling history of the Northrop Tacit Blue, a marvel of stealth technology and aeronautical engineering. Developed in the 1980s under the veil of secrecy, this aircraft was a cornerstone in stealth research, leading to the advanced stealth capabilities we see in today's air forces. With its unique and somewhat odd 'whale-shaped' design, Tacit Blue was affectionately nicknamed 'The Whale' among those who worked on it. It flew from 1982 to 1985, primarily focusing on demonstrating that a stealth aircraft could operate close to the front lines and provide ground support by relaying battlefield intelligence in real-time. This prototype not only proved the concept of stealth technology but also paved the way for future stealth aircraft, including the B-2 Spirit. The Tacit Blue remains a significant piece of aviation history, showcasing the incredible leaps in technology and design that are possible in the world of aerospace.
