How Does Stealth Technology Work?




Stealth aircraft can give pilots a huge advantage over opponents by being difficult to detect on radar - but how is it possible to keep something so large and powerful hidden from the eyes of the adversary?

  6. FOR LINUS AND OTHERS: GREEKS HAVE DEVELOPT 2YEARS AGO A PASSIVE RADAR THAT CAN DETECT ALL KIND OF MECHANIC FLYING OBJECTS... EVEN THE "STEALTH"CRAFTS... IT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS THAT USA AND GREECE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT "NOT TO PRODUCE AND SELL TO OTHER COUNTRIES"THESE RADARS!
    SO... THANK LINUS FOR THE "FAKE NEWS" SINCE THERE ARE NO STEALTH AIRCRAFTS ON THIS PLANET ATM!

  7. Mostly what you are talking about is Passive radar deflection methods, years ago,  Illegal in both the US and Canada you could order a kit for your car that deployed a field around the car through a front plate and a rear plate, more complex kits had side pieces for your car. They produced a M.A.S.C. Unit that essentially that actively dispersed Laser and Radar signals that either registered as nothing on a laser or showed "ERR" on the radar gun. basically its the same idea as reducing sound waves like active noise cancelling sending waves that cancel each other out of the opposite frequency.

  8. How Does Stealth Technology Work? EASY! We research it, upload it on the open internet, get hacked, steal tax dollars to research contradictions to stolen tech, and then upload that on the internet also for unlimited bonus potential! Oh! That's America.. My bad. Btw? Our F35 is a total F$%$^ fail! Melting flight decks is one example.. We tried to stop it but it was far too politically tied and so the military kept buying them anyways. Then we let China steal the plans in hopes of diverting the blame away from ourselves.. Also at the expense of Americans and risk to world safety.

    We're getting so stupid that Canadians should build a wall..

  20. Linus missed an interesting tidbit. All stealth designs avoid planar surfaces intersecting at right angles. A little bit of ray tracing shows that a pair of planar surfaces will reflect an incoming radar (or light) beam back to the sender no matter what direction the beam comes from. As an example of the opposite of stealth, the inside corner of a cube (an array of them) was put on the moon to reflect laser beams back to the sender irrespective of position on the moon. This avoidance of concave right angles can be seen in air intakes and outlets of stealth aircraft.

  21. This is nothing compared to the stealth plane I wanted to build in my back yard. It's so stealthy that nobody can see it, including me :-D

  22. There's an excellent article on TheDrive about some declassified F-117s. Apparently that special paint is still super-secret and also very toxic.

  23. Why not use an ECM Jammer? or just shoot the radar dish?

  24. Sorry, we didn t know he is invisible. Salut from Serbia (Yugoslavia) country which army shoot it down 99

  25. Ok, its not invisible (its just less visible to the radar system), i undersatand that. But we crash him with some old piece of shit of russian rusty equipment, from the time when its used in Vietnam war...US gov throw (stiling) money of citizien for nothing.

  26. So many people talking about SERBIA in 1999...
    I saw more people who don't know what's SERBIA.....

  27. Fun Fact: The F-16 comes up on radar as the size of a small house.
