Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division is responsible for some of the most spectacular aircraft ever seen. The F-22 Raptor, the Blackbird SR-71, the Nighthawk or the U2, They are projects carried out in secret by this division of the company. Even the Darkstar, the plane from the second installment of Top Gun, was also designed by this division.
Imagine what McLaren could do with some of the Skunk Works team tools.
McLaren and Lockheed Martin
McLaren announced in a press release that it will have a technological collaboration with this company, mainly looking to make use of design tools. It is striking, however, that a company that usually works in secrecy and with secrets, wants to reveal part of its magic to a car manufacturer.
According to those from Woking, the partnership will allow them to focus on implementing a new Skunk Works design system.developed for the aviation world, in the domains of cutting-edge, high-performance automotive supercar design.
This could speed up and optimize the development of future supercars, taking all variables into account that are required to achieve a high performance level, including aerodynamic issues and cooling flows, among others.
The brand did not provide further details, like Lockheed Martin, so we will have to hope that the alliance brings good things and does not end everything in a minor collaboration and special editions of those that are pure badges and nothing more.
