The F-22 was developed by Lockheed and the B-2 by Northrop. IIRC on
both aircraft the "stealthy" features are all done inhouse. So as
far as publicly known projects go Boeing seems to be limited to the
BoP the X-45, and X-46. Sure they've done things like the Super
Hornet and SLAM-ER that have a degree of stealth and the datat form
the Commanche and X-36 which they inherited but both Lockheed and
Northrop's experience goes clear back to the fifties. Compared to
Lockheed and Northrop does have very little experience. I never said
they didn't have *any* I just meant that compared to the other two
they don't have much.


(uh. . .if you need that in english let me know LOL)

No, I think I got it. :-)

And I guess I don't really disagree. If we're talking about designing
stealth, Boeing does seem to be less experienced. They have a lot more
experience with fabrication, though, which is sort of what I was getting at.
