So correct me if I am wrong, but didnt the development of these sorts of aircraft used to be super secret squirrel stuff? I mean maybe my perspective is a bit off, but did it not used to be that the latest and great stealth and spy aircraft that DARPA and LM's Skunkworks used to develop would be in service quite some time before being revealed to the public? And here we are, on the 'ol WWW, discussing the merits of its naming after some sort of press release discussing new bomber... I am confused. Whatever happened to keeping this sort of thing off the books so that our enemies didnt know what we had flying over them at any given time? Am I completely out in left field here?
