You’re going to have to eject if the computer dies anyway.

Just part of the deal with stealth.

For the record, this is a computer mock of of the “F-15 Silent Eagle.”

I think the real Silent Eagle has more of a F-18 looking tail -— at about 30 degrees -— compromising stability for reduction in radar cross signature.

Not sure what they are doing for the engine inlets, if anything, so face-on would still be a pretty good signature.
