The plane in these pictures is still officially the "Air Vehicle Number 1", a prototype, on board the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public.

It will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range) super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range. Awesome!

Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the F/A-37...LT Kara Wade.

(Yes, we realize the F/A—37 is a movie prop for a 2005 film “Stealth”, but you must admit, it's a nice dream.)
