Stealth Fighters & Bombers

Stealth Fighters & Bombers

RUMINT

Updated 7 January 2025 to add Chengdu J-36 and Shenyang J-50 6th Gen Stealth Fighters.

This book contains information on every stealthy fighter and bomber aircraft I could find. Please let me know if I've left any out and I will add them. I also include early examples of tailless flying wing aircraft that would probably exhibited certain stealthy characteristics. However, I did not include the Linke-Hofmann R.I prototype, an experimental German World War I bomber with transparent covering material (1917-1918). That one didn't do so well. Below is my list.
