Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk · History, Technical Data & Photos · AeroCorner

In 1994, NASA conducted testing on an F-117 model using the Langley’s 16-Foot High Speed Tunnel. Classified and unclassified tests were conducted at the facility. For instance, the testing on the B-2 was so secret that all photos of the models tested in the 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel were removed from the facility and none exist in the NASA photo files. Models used in the wind tunnel were built up in the Jet Exit Facilitybehind the wind tunnel and moved under cover of darkness into the wind tunnel
