The absolute first beginnings of the F-117 series, the ECHO project was the first tangible experiment in stealth aircraft production.
Description[]
The airframe produced after exhaustive computer simulations was grotesque to say the least, but it was the first step in producing the highly successful Nighthawk. The simple, faceted design offers inherent stealth capability, that when coupled with RAM coating, render the ECHO invisible to radar. Weapon systems and basic electronics have been added to this design, but are characteristically limited by the accommodations required to achieve stealth capability.
