I was watching Stealth and was wondering if the FA-37 Talon Stealth Fighter or the other plane without the pilot called the UCAV is real and who makes it?

Okay, there is no FA-37 talon. The thing you saw on the movie? It was a prop. Okay, sorry, it's a movie. The stealth fighters we have are the F-117 and the F-22, and the F-22 isn't really that stealthy.
By the way, the T-38 is the talon, it's a trainer, and it was the black "mig" in top gun. There is an AT-37 which is a variant of the T-37. The Columbian Air Force and a few others fly those.

The FA-37 Stealth Fighter was called the Talon..the UCAV EDI was the one with no pilot...Hence the name Unmanned Combat Arial Vehicle.

And the guy Below me doesnt have a clue what hes talking about..lol

As far as the ones in the movie being real or not, the Aircraft in the movie were not real, excpet for the models you see sitting on the fligh deck of the carrier and the F/A-18s.
But The military does have UCAVs, they just dont have Smart UCAVs.
And the Navy and Northrop-Grumman have an experimental Swept Wing aircraft that looks almost exactly like the FA-37 Talon..its just not called the FA-37.


Whoah,not that stealthy you say? the FA-22 Raptor is more Stealthy then the B-2 Bomber there pal.

Well i am not sure if i understood your question, but yes FA-37 Talon is a Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV).Typically 80 percent of the useful life of today's combat aircraft is devoted to pilot training and proficiency flying, requiring longer design lives than would be needed to meet combat requirements. Without the requirement to fly sorties to retain pilot proficiency, UCAVs will fly infrequently. A reduced maintenance design with condition based maintenance, minimized on-board sensors, reduced fluid systems, maintainable signature, and a modular avionics architecture will reduce touch labor in the fashion of commercial aircraft.aircAdvances in small smart munitions will allow these smaller vehicles to attack multiple targets during a single mission and reduce the cost per target killed. The Miniaturized Munitions Technology Demonstration (MMTD) goal is to produce a 250-pound class munition effective against a majority of hardened targets previously vulnerable only to 2,000-pound class munitions. A differential GPS/INS system will provide precision guidance, and smart fusing techniques will aid in producing a high probability of target kill.

They are both fake. The only planes in that movie that were real were the ones the navy owned IE the F/A-18's

All the planes in that movie are computer generated. They are yet to be designed and not to mention build.
