FS2002/FS2004 US Navy Lockheed F-117N. After the A-12 Avenger plan as the Navy's next generation stealth attacker is canceled, Lockheed proposed F-117N, the ship board plane type of F-117. The F-117N improves view by changing to the bubble canopy and the horizontal tail was added. Moreover, the decrease of the landing speed is attempted by reducing the sweepback of the main wing so it was suited for operation on aircraft carriers. However, because naval forces had not shown interest in this, this plan was canceled. By Kazunori Ito.
