F 117 Nighthawk
This ‘Black Project’ aircraft is synonymous with mystery and the highest levels of top secrecy. Even in the years following its entry into service, United States officials denied its existence. Ultimately designed by Lockheed to counter the increasingly sophisticated Soviet surface-to-air missiles in the 1970’s. The F 117 is a single seat, twin engine stealth attack aircraft, incapable of supersonic flight. Only 59 of this type were built and the F 117 was retired in 2008 after a relatively short service life. Despite its official retirement, a small fleet have been kept in an airworthy condition and some have been observed flying adding to the mystery of this iconic aircraft.
This stylish piece of wall art is precision laser cut from 2mm steel and powder coated to a satin black finish. This provides a durable rust resistant finish so it can be displayed indoors or out. The piece stands away from the wall by 16mm giving an elegant 3D look which casts a silhouette on the wall. Mounting instructions and wall fixings are supplied.
