Swipe ⬅️ to see how the Stealth plane hid from the radar.
By designing the fuselage shape, hiding parts that reflect radar waves, and controlling the reflection direction of radar power, instead of making the aircraft truly "invisible," 🛩️📡
The centerpiece is not the only magic coating, but the whole system design, using angled surfaces to deflect radar waves, curved air intakes to hide engine propellers, weapons storage chambers inside the fuselage to keep external surfaces smooth, clean, and a special type of radar wave absorbent material that reduces the reflection of radar signals.
However, Stealth technology is limited because its detection efficiency depends on many factors, such as the type of radar, flight path, timing, weather, and tactics used. That's why Stealth aircraft are difficult to detect, but not at all.
