Poll: Which stealth plane looks the coolest?

Got to see an SR-71 up close many years ago (abeit with its wings removed for transport) it was still one badass looking jet.

Definitely the y-z plane. It has been and always will be my favorite.

</math joke>

what makes it a STEALTH plane though? Just because it's less recognized than its x-y and x-z bretheren doesn't make it invisible to vectors or anything 😛

SR-71 > *, ESPECIALLY considering how old it is.
 
What about the X-35? Didn't it win the competition to become the JSF? (F-22 is a little pricey and not versitile enough for all our military divisions)
 
SR-71

so badass, they have to ware space suits to fly it cause it flys at like 40,000 feet

almost impossiable to shoot down, i think it happened once

I think you are thinkink of the U-2 spyplane that was shot down. I dont think we have lost an SR-71 to enemy fire. Let me Google it.

More like 100,000 feet. Commercial jets generally cruise around 35,000.

they dont fly at 100K i think its closer to 60 tho, and they are presurized the same was as people planes
