F/A-37 Talon:

The plane in these pictures is air vehicle number 1, a prototype on board the USS Washington for catapult fit checks. Not yet made public, the F/A-37 is a Mach 3.5, super cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with a 4000nm range. Top speed is classified, some where in the Mach 4 plus range. Awesome! Also, there is no phase interval for this plane. It has a 10,000 hour life airframe and engines that require replacement only at failure or signs of trouble. The squadrons are to be out of Whidbey Island, 12 planes to a command.

By the time you get a carrier you will not know how to use it.

I'm not expert on this, but the aircraft pictured is from the movie "Stealth" I believe. I could easily be wrong of course.

Tempting as it may be to believe pictures of just about anything — including a new, top secret U.S. military aircraft — might turn up on the Internet, that isn't the case here. These photographs are not images of a prototype F/A-37 "Talon" aircraft being tested aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, but pictures taken from the forthcoming motion picture Stealth.
Although these pictures come from a fictional movie, they were taken aboard a real U.S. aircraft carrier: the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was used for filming while the vessel was at San Diego's Naval Air Station North Island in June 2004. The ship's public affairs group issued the following press release for the occasion:
