Radar on an airplane is used to detect and avoid severe weather, namely thunderstorms.it is also used to detect enemy or friendly air crafts surrounding the area of flight.It keeps an aircraft present on other aircraft radars and also on the ground radars. Transport aircraft do NOT detect other aircrafts. It MAY on military airplanes but again NOT on transport aircraft.

A more complex system like an air traffic control radar system would have display consoles for the radar operator to view the data.
What are the advantages using 3D Radar over 2D Radar?
The three Dimensional maps created a revolution in the field of navigation and medical and also in the engineering field. The advantage of 3D maps are that it can give the idea of all the dimensions and hence better designs can be created by looking at the 3d maps and the conventional maps were not that much informative compared to 3D maps are
What detects airplane in air?
Radar.
How does stealth technology work?
The goal of stealth technology is to make an airplane invisible to radar.

If you are asking how the bomber itself works I don't know but if you are asking how the stealth works I can awnser that... The B2 bombers "stealth" can be created in 2 ways:The 1st way is the airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment.The 2nd way is the airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.
Machine that keeps an airplane on course?
Autopilot keeps an aircraft on course. In modern times autopilot is assisted by GPS and radar.

How do stealth aircrafts fly?
They fly just the same as any other airplane. The only difference being they are made of materials that do not give a big radar image.
