Stealth technology was invented about ten seconds after radar. There are several approaches to making a craft invisible to radar: 1) Absorbing the beam: This is what the microwave absorber patches on popcorn bags do to heat up their oil. But more sophisticated materials are layered on the vehicle's skins. It is even possible to etch "reflective-holograms of empty space" onto aluminum or stainless steel. Projected electron beams have been used but the technology is complicated. 2) Deflecting the beam: This was a Russian invention that the Lockheed Skunkworks people found and used to build stealth aircraft (F117). If reflecting surfaces don't allow the radar beam to return to the receiver...they can't detect the airplane. The airplanes look a little strange, but computers fly them well. 3) Passing the beam: Some materials just pass microwaves with little reflection or absorption. This is not practical for large structures.

What is better strength or stealth?
The choice of strength or stealth is mission dependent: If intelligence gathering behind enemy lines is required, stealth would be chosen. If a hill has to be charged, strength would be the important consideration.

Is it legal to build a stealth plane?
A stealth plane would be illegal without orders from authority and if you were to construct a stealth plane, it would depend what equipment you are storing (bombs and etc).
Is The F22 raptor a Stealth plane?
Yes.
What is stealth technology?
Stealth technology is special technology to hide from radar which means the plane doesnt exist on a radar but stealth technology is expensive
Can the stealth fighter plane carry people?
The F-117 Nighthawk 'stealth fighter' carried a single pilot.
Is a stealth fighter the fastest plane in the world?
The SR 71 Blackbird is the fastest plane in the world
What is a triangular shaped wing plane called?
Stealth bomber.
What is the fastest speed of stealth planes?
The F/A-22 Raptor, a fighter/attack plane can go about 2 and half times the speed of sound. It is faster than the F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack plane, and the B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber, and the F/A-35 Lighting 2, a multi-mission attack/fighter plane.
How many parts are there on a stealth plane?
a stealth plane has the normal components of any other aircraft. the main difference is the exterior design of the aircraft. a stealth plane \s body is made at high angles to help deflect enemy radar. they also use radar absorbant paint so the radar pick up is nil or similar to that of a small bird.
Who makes a flying model of the Stealth plane?
A wide number of manufacturers make models of the stealth B-2, F-117A and F-22, as well as the semi-stealth favorite the SR-71.
What are the most expensive plane in the world?
stealth bomber which is 2.2 billion pounds each
