The specific case of SR-71 to F-117 seems incredibly unlikely - at least based on my memory of Ben Rich's (was an engineer at Lockheed Skunkworks who worked on the A-12/SR-71 program and then was Director/President for F-117 program) memoirs.
What did happen was that some of the program managers who initiated the stealth fighter program were not aware initially aware of the stealth characteristics of SR-71. This was rectified.
- simne 5y agoI read Ben Rich's memoirs. But fortunately, I seen very detailed photos of stealth modifications of U-2, and nothing about it was in memoirs.
