Used mainly in the military. This was developed to fight against RADARS. The aim of this technology is to make the planes or ships or soldiers invisible as much as possible.
This was developed in the late 1930s & during WWII. This was mainly developed to make the planes undetectable by radars.
Horten Ho 229
Most conventional aircraft have a rounded shape. This shape makes them aerodynamic, but it also creates a very efficient radar reflector. The round shape means that no matter where the radar signal hits the plane, some of the signal gets reflected back:
A stealth aircraft, on the other hand, is made up of completely flat surfaces and very sharp edges. When a radar signal hits a stealth plane, the signal reflects away at an angle, like this:
F-117 Nighthawk
B-2 Spirit
The material used in the construction of planes is Non-Metallic. Dielectric materials are used as they are transparent to the radar waves .
F-22 Raptor
F-117
The hot regions are cooled by coolants. The gases exhausted are absorbed by the atmospheric. Some planes(F-117) uses this IR to confuse enemy.
Avro-vulcon
DISADVANTAGES
Carries less number of bombs. Less speed. Losses stealth property when bay doors open. Very high cost. Has to be repainted regularly. Cant make sharp curves. F-35 Lighitining Electromagnatic emmisions. The shape does not support Aero-dynamics. Cost of maintainance.
Boeing 797
Air force 1
STEALTH SHIPS
This is the stealth technology concept of aircrafts. Because of their more bending edge they have lesser radar detection.
DDG-67
ANTI-STEALTH TECHNOLOGY
Low frequency radar. Multi-transmitters.
Airborne method.
Surface based method. Satellite based method.
MULTI TRANSMITERS
This is based on the RCS.
A large no of antennas are placed at distant places. Single or multi transmitters are used.
AIRBORNE METHOD
Planes are made to fly high up in the air . They are furnished with SLAR & FLIR.
STEALTH VEHICLES
CONCLUSION
This the present worlds one of thebest advanced technology to make things invisible as far as possible and it is developing to be applied to the real life appliances as to a common man . Let us hope that it will develop to the more better Way in the future.
