The Skunkworks is also working on “morphing” technology, employing new materials that permit an aircraft to change its shape in flight. The aircraft would be able to alter its profile and planform to grow longer for high speed, broader for range and loiter time, or stealthy to foil specific enemy radars in a given area.

Lockheed expects to be able to speak more fully about some new, previously secret or “black” projects in the coming months.
