Engineering magazine defends stealth article
Engineers defend a IEEE Spectrum piece detailing stealth aviation research amid criticism including a caller who urged the writer be shot. The article describes delta-shaped stealth fighters by Lockheed and flight by pilots from the 4450th at Nellis. DOE policy, Pentagon calls, and Air Force disclosure of the B 2 maiden flight frame the issue.
