A-12 Avenger II Stealth Bomber

The McDonnell Douglas–General Dynamics A-12 Avenger II was an American stealth carrier-attack aircraft program intended to replace the A-6 Intruder. Its flying-wing configuration promised reduced radar visibility, but development encountered severe weight, cost, and schedule difficulties. The program was canceled in 1991 before a flying prototype was completed. It therefore had no operational service or combat history. It also differed from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft, an entirely separate earlier design. The cancellation became a major procurement and legal controversy. Cost and technical management were therefore as much a part of the A12’s real history as its projected low-observable aerodynamic shape.
