A skunkworks project is one typically developed by a small and loosely structured group of people who research and develop a project primarily for the sake of innovation. The term typically refers to technology projects, and originated with Skunk Works, an official alias for the Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs (formerly Lockheed Advanced Development Projects). A skunkworks project often operates with a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects.  A notable example of a skunkworks project is the first Apple Macintosh computer.
