The F-117 Nighthawk is lore in avaiation: the first operational aircraft to feature stealth capability. Its design utilized a number of novel features to minimize its detectability by both radar and infrared optics.

During Britain’s first entry into the Gordon Bennett Cup in 1903, the colors of the British flag had already been selected by other nations. When forced to select an alternate color, they chose green as a tip of the cap to the host nation, Ireland. British racing green was born. It retained prominence until the 1970s when sponsors were first allowed to post advertisements on the cars. It has since been used heavily by both British and international automotive manufacturers and has become a staple choice for luxury vehicles whose owners want a bold but elegant look.
