BIRD OF PREY

Named after the Klingon Bird of Prey from Star Trek, this fighter or tactical bomber prototype was just unveiled on October 18, 2002. Built at Boeing's Phantom Works as a proof of concept, this craft is thought to be able to attain speeds of 300 mph. It was first flown in 1996 and uses new technologies that enable it to fly stealthy even during daylight.
