近日,美国军用航空领域再次成为人们关注的焦点。由波音公司“鬼怪工厂”秘密设计、研制和试飞的“捕食鸟”(Bird of Prey)验证机,在隐姓埋名了长达十年之久后,终于揭开了神秘的面纱。10月18日,波音公司与美国空军在圣路易斯工厂的总部向政府官员和新闻记者公开展示了这架长期以来高度机密的新型验证机。通常在“黑”计划领域,每10年才有1、2次类似的揭秘事件,因此公开亮相的“捕食鸟”验证机无疑代表了军用航空技术的飞跃性进步。 Recently, the U.S. military aviation field has once again become the focus of attention. The Bird of Prey, designed, developed and piloted by Boeing's Ghost Factory, was finally mysteriously revealed after an anonymity of ten years. On October 18, Boeing and the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force's San Luis factory publicly displayed to government officials and journalists this long-awaited new verification machine. Often, there are 1,2 similar revelations every 10 years in the “Black” program, so the public appearance of the “Bird of Prey” certification machine undoubtedly represents a dramatic advance in military aviation technology.
