They were not any where near the level of stealth of today, but they had some stealth features purposely included in the design. So does the B-1B bomber

And apparently so did Vulcan.

It wasn't planned at all, but Vulcan had quite low radar cross-section.

I cant think of its name, but didnt a WW2 British Fighter have low RCS due to its wooden construction?

Mosquito.

[Mr King]

Im pretty sure later models of the U2 made use of radar absorbing paint. Also for some reason I have it in my head that the location of the face of the U2's engine helped make it stealthy, though my memory could be crappy on that.

Since you are at it,

J 12

 

Is the cockpit of the J12 off-set to the left side of the fuselage?

It sure looks that way.

Edit:Its left side. Not ours.

Don't think so, but the protruding pitot tube (or whatever test/measuring device it is) is, which does makes the cockpit location seem a bit assymetrical

Ah! That's much clearer. Thank you.

[Koesj]

It's J-20 btw. Also there's the J/F-31.

I must say, that both the YF-23 and the PAK FA are seriously good looking aircraft. How they did and will perform is a matter for another thread.
