美国空军1996年4月30日首次公开了以前被列为绝密的一种侦察机,代号“默蓝”。来龙去脉美国空军试图验证,是否可以制造一种部署在战场前沿执行侦察任务,并能监视敌方第二梯队行动的侦察机,而它自己既不易被敌方探测到,也不易被击落。为此美空军于1978年开始制订并实施“默蓝”计划。该计划由俄亥俄州赖特-帕特森空军基地的航空系统分部负责,诺斯罗普公司的设计师史蒂夫·史密斯和约翰·卡申负责设计,诺斯罗普公司的霍索恩制造厂负责制造
On April 30, 1996, the U.S. Air Force first made a public announcement of a reconnaissance plane previously classified as top secret, codenamed “Mo Lan.” The Achilles heel The U.S. Air Force is trying to verify whether it is possible to create a reconnaissance plane deployed to conduct reconnaissance missions in front of the battlefield and to monitor the movements of the enemy’s second tier, which itself is neither easily detected by the enemy nor easily shot down. To this end the U.S. Air Force began to formulate and implement the “Mellow Blue” plan in 1978. The program is managed by the Aerospace Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, with Northrop Pte Ltd designers Steve Smith and John Kashin in charge of design, Northrop Corp Hawthorne Manufacturing factory is responsible for manufacturing
