The Northrop "White Ray" was a development of the "Tacit Blue" project, building on that projects experiments in stealth aircraft used for low-level combat reconnaissance. While "Tacit Blue" was designed to be survivable in a combat situation with the Soviet Union, the "White Ray" project began after that threat had passed in the 90s, and was developed for use in more modern desert combat zones. The wing shape had a high area for increased lift, therefore allowing more weight for stealth and sensors. Many innovative stealth techniques were used, including the use of curved angles to reflect incoming radar rays in all directions, and a wing that was very slightly thinner in the middle to reduce cross-section from the side and front. The intakes were obscured with angular cylinders to reduce reflections from the fan blades, and the exhausts were obscured to muffle thermal signature and noise, as well as radar signature from the rear fans of the engines. The front was shaped to reflect radar to the side, and all these features combined to give the aircraft a smaller radar-cross section than a bee, being practically invisible. The paint was chosen to partially absorb radar, and blur with the blue desert skies, blending with the unique shape to make the aircraft very difficult to spot visually as well, with quiet engines enabling it to fly low over enemy positions, at altitudes of less than 500 meters without being detected. One engineer remarked the aircraft looked like "Some kinda weird fish or something", leading to the perfect codename for the project, "White Ray". They were used during Operation Desert Storm, as well as in Afghanistan, and rumours say they are currently being used against ISIS in Syria, and more obscure rumours and scant data point to them being used to secretly gather information on Russian positions in the area as well. It is unknown for certain how many still fly, and when they will retire.
