Top secret aircraft, also known as black projects, can be powerful assets to the countries operating them, in this case the United States. But crashes can have dire consequences both in terms of technology and diplomacy. Usually when a black aircraft crashes, a cover story is issued and a veil of secrecy shrouds the incident. But when a jet is still recognisable, cover stories go out the window and technology is left open to exploitation – or simply observation. Here are five examples of secret aircraft (not all black) that have retained their overall appearances after crashing, though thankfully not all in enemy territory.
