Yup, first plane they used ram on was the sr-71

Back when I was younger, and the Discovery channel wasn't channeling MTV specials... I saw this documentary once, that implied that the Raptor's paralel edges aid in its " LO " Viewed from above, the leading edges of the air intakes match those of the wings and the airelons. From the front, the Stabelizers line up with the intakes as well, as they do with the Hull intself. These paralel lines match with all the panels that can open as well.... I always believed this to be part of why it's sooooo stealthy, but to be honest, my ghast is thuroughly flabbered at the lack of mention to this fact, over the many years that the '22 has been covered now.

I am/was making a plane in Brick Rigs (a video game), but I could never get the ailerons to work properly. I'd never thought about thrust vectoring (or that typa thing). Until I watched this video. Maybe I'll come back here and leave a comment if it goes well later.

But the F-22 was still pretty fun to fly.

F-117 panel angles had nothing to do with stealthiness or urderstanding of radar signature. Back when it was modeled in the late 1970s, the best supercomputers could just not cope with more polygons than that for radar modeling, so that's what they settled with. A few years later, there was so much more computer performance we never saw these low-poly aircraft designs since.

The reason for the F-117's flat panels and straight lines is not what you think! Lockheed's Skunk Works used computers to model radar reflections, but at the time they were not powerful enough to model curves. So they just designed a low-poly aircraft instead!

The best match the F-22 ever had was against Iron Man.
