About Skunk works
Skunk works SR-71 - photo wallpapers: Skunk works is a term used in aerospace engineering and other engineering and technical applications for secret (black) projects. The Skunk Works is the unofficial name for Lockheed Martin's Lockheed Advanced Development Projects Unit and was the production unit responsible for a number of famous aircraft, including the U-2, the SR-71, and the F-117. Its newest project of note is the F-35 JSF (Joint Strike Fighter), which will be used in the air forces of several countries around the world. Production is expected to last for up to 4 decades. The history of the Skunk Works began with the World War II period, when the black projects of the Skunk Works were located near the Burbank Airport, now renamed Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. The legendary Kelly Johnson and team developed the P-80 Shooting Star in a circus tent set in the parking lot (as there was no existing secure area) in only 143 days. This aircraft was the U.S. Air Force's first operational jet fighter. Kelly Johnson headed the Skunk Works until 1975, when Ben Rich took over leadership. After the end of the Cold War in 1989, Lockheed reorganized its operations and relocated the Skunk Works to Site 10 at U. S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California where it is still in operation today. The Skunk Works used the Groom Dry Lake Air Force Base in the Nevada desert for testing their secret aircraft prototypes. Lockheed now considers the term "Skunk Works" to be a trademark of theirs, and has several registrations of it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. They have filed several challenges against registrants of domain names containing variations on the term under anti-cybersquatting policies. The Skunk Works are often credited with having originated the term KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) as one of their design principles.
