Skunk works is an interesting read. I think the neatest fact is that the bird leaks on the ground because the fuselage is designed so that the heat is experinces during flight causes the fuselage expand to fit perfectly when it is in the air. ---

^ Yup, titanium skin expands so much from air-resistance-induced friction that it was designed with loose “cold” tolerances. It “weeps” fuel on the ground and is mid-air refueled soon after takeoff. Couldn’t be serviced for some time after landing, either - too hot! ---
