In 1943, in a circus tent in Burbank, California, a bunch of revolutionary thinkers first gathered in secrecy to build America's first jet fighter. They believed that nothing was impossible, and in the following decades, they created some of the most iconic flying machines in history: the U-2 spy plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 stealth bomber. Each aircraft was so far ahead of its time that they were often mistaken for something otherworldly.
Pull back the veil of secrecy on Lockheed Martin's enigmatic Skunk Works program.
