132 page bookazine by Scott Lowther for Mortons.

The development of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk – the world’s first in-service combat aircraft specifically designed to be undetectable by radar – was a huge leap forward in military aviation technology. It was followed by the stealthy F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II; yet for every type that has entered service there have been dozens of secret projects and proposals for stealth fighters which never reached production. In US Stealth Fighter Projects, aerospace engineer Scott Lowther brings to light some of the fascinating might-have-been designs for fighters intended to attack and destroy their opponents before even being detected.

Looks nice. May I ask who did the 3D model for the F-23?

Sounds great, and there's some good stuff Scott published in eAPR which will feed into this.

The member @XP67_Moonbat posted earlier on in the topic "Some Future Titles of Interest for SPF Members", that according to the website of the Dutch "Aviationmegastore", this bookazine will be published towards the end of December of 2024. I have already added it to my wish list, and I don't mind if it arrives not for Christmas, but rather sometime early next year.

Merged post to topic - this deserves its own discussion. Some of this stuff is still somewhat sensitive, so interested to see a contents page.

Perfectly timed! I have embarked on a llllooonngggg personal project to attempt to create a scale model timeline of the history of stealth!

 

[Anderman]

I will buy it !

Put me down for it as well, if Scott's previous books are anything to go by this one should be highly interesting.

It looks like the 3D model by this guy: Hangar B

Who did it for the TWZ article: TWZ F-23A article
