Beoing Bird of Prey History:

This stealth demonstration aircraft was built using off the shelf engines and flight controls for a relatively inexpensive $67 million and was operational from 1996-99. Completing 39 flights over the duration of the program, the aircraft did not rely on computer assisted controls to maintain flight stability. Experimental camouflage stealth characteristics and lessoned learned on the Bird of Prey project have been incorporated in the F-22 Raptor program.

Development of the Bird of Prey began in 1992 by McDonnell Douglas's Phantom Works division for special projects. The aircraft's name is a reference to the Klingon Bird of Prey warship from the Star Trek television series. Phantom Works later became part of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems after the Boeing–McDonnell Douglas merger in 1997.

The first flight was in 1996, and 39 more were performed through the program's conclusion in 1999. The Bird of Prey is designed to prevent shadows and is believed to have been used to test active camouflage, which would involve its surfaces changing color or luminosity to match the surroundings.

The aircraft was made public on October 18, 2002, and was later put on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton, Ohio.
