Description 
The Northrop Tacit Blue is a technology demonstrator aircraft 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.
Development: Unveiled by the U.S. Air Force on 30 April 1996, the Tacit Blue Technology Demonstration Program was designed to prove that such an aircraft could continuously monitor the ground situation deep behind the battlefield and provide targeting information in real time to a ground command center. Program's goal was to develop an efficient stealth reconnaissance aircraft with a low probability of intercept radar and other sensors that could operate close to the forward line of battle with a high degree of survivability.

A Northrop Tacit Blue?
*equips fedora*PERRY THE NORTHROP TACIT BLUE?!
I cannot get this thing to fly.
the goober
🗣🔥🔥alien school bus
Great work, I just saw this thing irl 1 month ago and I can confirm this is real, whether or not it flies is another thing entirely but the fact that this was built in 1987 shows what a cold war does to a 235 Billion Dollar, Military Budget.
Flyin stealthy brick
i can't believe this goofy thing is real
this is cursed
Bruh
Yeah I was going to but uhhh the nickname of this plane given by the air-force is a bit, well uhhhh i can’t say it here.
Nice and original plane .
@Zero0Two2 most likely
add a toilet,the bed,stove and fridge and you are set
you can even crack a cold one during recon knowing you won't be seen lol
@SuperSuperTheSylph Funnily enough it looks like an RV, so maybe a flying house?
This would be cool as a recon drone irl
@IFVuser pretty sure some mf would turn it into a steath bomber
half a day did not even pass and he is at the front page
@OrangeConnor2 oh well
+1 kill
@IFVuser No, looking at this thing might just kill me.
@OrangeConnor2 i wont be surprised this wont get a kill at all
Mild flex but I live 20 minutes drive away from this weird plane. It’s at the National museum of the Air Force in Dayton Ohio. I’ve been there about a dozen times.
if you’re running out of ideas how about you make an experimental planes series where you make things like tacit blue. It would be a great learning opportunity and you’ll be able to teach us about it.
Looks goofy 💀
f117 can't compete
The real stealth aircraft
Cute lil’ thang
