Here's more on the Talon.

F/A-37 Talon

The F/A-37 Talon is a near-future, fictional single-seat fighter aircraft of the U.S. Navy in the 2005 film Stealth. The only existing 37s are operating as a three-plane flight for field evaluation, from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

The Talon is capable of hypersonic flight with two combined Pulse Detonation/Scramjet engines. As the movie's title suggests, the Talon has stealth capability, along with movable, forward sweep, switchblade wings, an internal cannon for close-in fights, and an internal rotary launcher with a wide variety of ordnance, including AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles, AGM-130C air-to-surface missiles (called "Blue Ferret" in the movie), and Truncheon implosion bombs.

It has a Common Integrated Processor (CIP), a central "brain" capable of making damage assessments, not just on enemy forces, but on collateral and civilian casualties as well. The CIP can make complex calculations, like estimating nuclear fallout, or projecting odds of survival.

The Talon is capable of precise attacks with minimal destruction. Each pilot has a view-screen for each wingman. Controls are streamlined; the computer communicates through voice and projection displays. The Talons had transponders that directly linked with the pilots homebase or a carrier's advanced flight center. The Talon has a self-destruct system in case of system failure.

There are several aircraft that seem to have influenced the design of the Talon. One is the Russian Sukhoi Su-47 prototype fighter, which also features forward swept, though fixed, wings. Another plane the Talon resembles is the fictional X-02 Wyvern, from the Ace Combat video game series. Both have switchblade wings, stealth characteristics and similar overall shapes. Yet another plane sharing design characteristics with the Talon is the Northrop Switchblade technology demonstrator.

The cinema Talons also can perform a front-to-back flip-over while in flight, per the Russian MiG-35 Fulcrum-F. However, the Talon does it as a complete 360 roll, at high-G.

Technically, the F/A-37 should be called "Talon II", as the name "Talon" has already been assigned to the T-38 trainer aircraft.

The game Empire Earth features a fighter called the Talon in the "Digital Age Epoch". It is almost identical to the F/A-37, although it is a white land-based fighter instead of a black carrier-based one.
