USAF F-117 Nighthawk, Stealth Fighter Movies, VHS Videos and DVD Movies and Documentary.Videos & DVD Movies of the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter. The F-117 is the very first of the totally stealth aircraft. Using the engines and landing gear from the F-18 Hornet and fitted with a faceted fuselage, this aircraft borrowed some old technology and added the all new stealth aircraft to the modern battlefield. For the Stealth Fighters, to remain stealthy, they had to carry their weapons in the inside of the fuselage. Also, with all of the very non-aerodynamic facets, the F-117 Stealth Fighters had to have specially built flight computers so the pilot could remain in control of the aircraft. Although this plane is called a fighter, it carries no guns, cannot go supersonic and is used only for night bombing raids. The F-117 proved itself very effective in delivering very large, precision guided bombs in the Gulf War. One question that I have for the readers is do the F117 Stealth Fighters have a radar? If so, how do they keep the ground radar returns from bouncing off of the fuselage and getting into the antenna, then reflecting back to the source?The modern stealth airplane is defined as a plane with a low radar return
signature. However, another unknown stealth factor is that
the internal electronics produce a very low emission of radio frequencies.
To further understand this type of emission, you can test this yourself
by taking a hand calculator or a camera strobe and holding it near the
antenna of an AM radio. Tune the radio to a place where there is no
station playing. Flash the strobe then listen to its recharge
on the radio or play with the calculator and listen to the logic gates
switch on and off. These are radio spectrum emissions. Military
aircraft design engineers go through great lengths to squelch these types
of emissions so that they will not give off radio waves that can be detected by
the enemy.

Fighter (1999)
You gotta see this one. Four out of four viewers gave this movie a one star rating. In order to get this bad of a rating, the movie must have really stunk. Maybe it's a stealthy good movie, you just can't see the good in it. Price: $9.98 |

- Secrets of the Stealth (1992)
Amazon.com The F-117 Stealth fighter was designed to be invisible to radar, and beginning with its development in the 1970s, it was also invisible to the public and almost all of the U.S. military for many years. In this look at the Stealth, from the drawing board to test flights to steady combat duty in the Gulf War, the viewer is treated to information and film footage that was once highly classified. There are plenty of stirring shots of Stealth fighters in flight, but this goes beyond being a high-altitude action video. The technology behind the Stealth is explained in lucid layman's terms by its designers, and members of an Air Force squadron who fly the Stealth offer their unique insights into the most advanced weapon in the American arsenal. The pilots, Gulf War vets, recount missions to Baghdad, which was hit heavily by the Stealth during Desert Storm. Reminding us that these planes are extremely lethal tools, a pilot also comments on a heavily publicized incident in the war, the mistaken bombing of a bunker filled with Iraqi civilians. Lockheed delivered only 59 Stealth fighters to the Air Force, at a cost of $42.6 million per plane, but despite that small number the Stealth has become a symbol of the modern American military. This video provides a comprehensive look at the strange black plane which seems to have flown out of the future. --Robert McNamara |

Camera Footage This video contains the actual footage from cameras on board the F-111, F-117 Stealth, A-10, nose cameras of PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions), and Navy and Marine aircraft. Strategic targets are sighted and destroyed; battle tanks explode upon impact. A collector's cassette, this is raw footage. You won't hear music; you won't see pretty camera work; there isn't any narrator telling you what you are seeing. What you will see is what the pilots saw. 45 min. |
