Abstract

Stealth aircraft are aircraft that use stealth technology to interfere with radar detection as well as means other than conventional aircraft by employing a combination of features to reduce visibility in the infrared, visual, audio and radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Development of stealth technology likely began in Germany during WWII. Well - known modern examples of stealth aircraft include the United States' F - 117 Nighthawk (1981 2008), the B - 2 Spirit "Stealth Bomber", the F - 22 Raptor, and the F - 35 Lightning II While no aircraft is totally invisible to radar, stealth aircraft prevent conventional radar from detecting or tracking the aircraft effectively, reducing the odds of an attack. Stealth is accomplished by using a complex design philosophy to reduce the ability of an opponent's sensors to detect, track, or attack the stealth aircraft. This philosophy also takes into account the heat, sound, and other emissions of the aircraft as these can also be used to locate it.
