Model Airplane Factory offers handmade USAF F117 Black Jet Stealth Model Airplane, artistically created from the finest grade of quality materials. After molding the plane, the F117 Nighthawk model airplane will undergo stages, between primer coats, to produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. The F117 Black Jet model plane will be painted according to the specific color scheme of the Air Force F117 Black Jet for their historical significance and authenticity.


About the size of an F-15C Eagle, the single-seat F-117A is powered by two non-afterburning General Electric F404 turbofan engines, and has quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire flight controls. It is air refuelable. In order to lower development costs, the avionics, fly-by-wire systems, and other parts are derived from the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet and F-15E Strike Eagle. The parts were originally described as spares on budgets for these aircraft, to keep the F-117 project secret.

The F-117A is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated into a digital avionics suite. It carries no radar, which lowers emissions and cross-section. It navigates primarily by GPS and high-accuracy inertial navigation. Missions are coordinated by an automated planning system that can automatically perform all aspects of a strike mission, including weapons release. Targets are acquired by a thermal imaging infrared system, slaved to a laser that finds the range and designates targets for laser-guided bombs.
