F-19 is a skipped DoD designation in the Tri-Service fighter aircraft designation sequence which was thought by many popular media outlets to have been allocated to the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, but was actually skipped in favor of F-20 for the Northrop F-5G Tigershark at Northrop's request to avoid confusion with the MiG-19.

In 1986, as speculation about Lockheed’s Northrop built what it called the YF-17 technology demonstrator to compete with General Dynamics’ YF-16 in the lightweight fighter program. When the F-16...

F-19 is a designation for a United States fighter aircraft that has never been officially used, and has engendered much speculation that it might refer to a type of aircraft whose existence is still classified.

在湯姆·克蘭西1986年的小說《赤色風暴》裡出現了名為F-19A Ghostrider的飛機，這型飛機是用來對付入侵德國的蘇聯的秘密武器。 詹氏資訊集團曾在《詹氏全球空軍 1986-1987》裡錯誤的刊出關於F-19的條目。

F-19 是一个未被使用的 美国 战斗机 编号，在80年代中后期普遍被认为是 美国空军 秘密研制的 隐形战机 的编号。 在80年代对美国新一代隐身飞机有诸多传闻，并且普遍指向F-19这个编号（介于 F-18 和 F-20 之间的编号）。 无论是电脑游戏、飞机模型还是 汤姆·克兰西 的军事幻想作品《赤色风暴》都采用了“F-19”这个编号。 然而，事实证明，隐身飞机的确存在，可其正式编号是 F-117 隐身攻击机。 而原先民间推测出的F-19的可能外形，可与真正存在的F-117大相径庭。 对此， …

The F-19 fighter designation has been one of the recurring mysteries of the postwar era. There is an apparent "hole" in the fighter sequence between F-18 and F-20. Was F-19 never assigned to any fighter aircraft as the Air Force claims, or is it a cover for some supersecret "black" project that is yet to be revealed?

2008年2月15日 · On August 2, 1982, Special Project 711, now officially called the F-19A Specter, made it’s official rollout from the Northrop Black Cat facility under extreme secrecy. Following a Northrop flight test program, the aircraft was delivered to the Air Force on 15 December 1982.

2018年5月25日 · The F-19, instead of adopting the very highly-swept planform of the F-117, uses a narrow curved-delta design, in some ways reminiscent of a stretched F-4D Skyray, with a break in sweep where the fuselage transitions into the wing, and a curved leading edge and wing tip.
