If we had a plane like that and we probably do, if it hadn't been released yet and somebody managed to get a picture out like that they'd be in a world of $h!t. On the History Channel some dude posted a comment and a picture about ground sensors outside Area 51 in Nevada and the FBI called his house that afternoon. They also said that the F-117 was released in the 1970s and it wasn't until 1989 that it was revealed to the public, and the only reason it was is that they were making too many of them to hide.

HAHA its from the upcoming movie "Stealth". In one of those pictures on the webpage you can see Jessica Biel in the cockpit. All of the politics involved in research and purchasing a military aircraft are too much in the public eye to hide anything too crazy anymore. In fact, due to monetary cutbacks, most of our airfraft are designed and flown in computer simulations far before they even reach the prototype phase. I was lucky enough to work on some of the computer based prototypes when I was a civvie. They do it all in computers to decide which ones are worth the extra effort to go the next step and make a flyable aircraft. Ever seen a C-17 Globemaster III with C-130 Wings/engines and a V-22 Osprey tail? Looks funny but handles pretty well in the sims . Think of being able to land a hundred troops in the middle of a city street with a tank.
