  Title: ACES II
  Passage: ACES II is an ejection seat system manufactured by the United Technologies Aerospace Systems (UTAS) division of the United Technologies Corporation (UTC).  ACES is an acronym for Advanced Concept Ejection Seat.  It is used in Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, Rockwell B-1 Lancer, WB-57, and Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit aircraft.  Over 10,000 ACES II seats have been produced with over 5,000 actively flying throughout the world as of 2013.  It is known throughout the industry as the lowest life cycle cost third generation seat due to the USAF owning the rights to the seat, facilitating competitive replacement part procurement.  In addition, the buying power of 5,000 in-service seats and previous service life extension programs have further driven down support costs.
  Title: Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk
  Passage: The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth attack aircraft that was developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).  The F-117 was based on the "Have Blue" technology demonstrator.
  Title: Skunk Works
  Passage: Skunk Works is an official pseudonym for Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects.  It is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, which will be used in the air forces of several countries.  Its name was taken from the moonshine factory in the comic strip "Li'l Abner".  The designation "skunk works" or "skunkworks" is widely used in business, engineering, and technical fields to describe a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, with the task of working on advanced or secret projects.

  Title: Lockheed Have Blue
  Passage: Lockheed "Have Blue" was the code name for Lockheed's demonstrator (i.e., "proof of concept") that preceded the F-117 Nighthawk production stealth aircraft.  "Have Blue" was designed by Lockheed's Skunk Works division, and tested at Groom Lake, Nevada.  The "Have Blue" was the first fixed-wing aircraft whose external shape was defined by radar engineering rather than by aerospace engineering.  The aircraft's plate-like, faceted shape was designed to deflect electromagnetic waves in directions other than that of the originating radar emitter, greatly reducing its radar cross-section.  Two flyable vehicles were constructed, but both crashed during the flight-test program.
  Title: United Technologies
