How do you avoid heat seeking missiles when flying an aircraft?

When flying an aircraft like helicopters or airplanes ,to avoid heat seeking missilesyou just have to turn off the engine and problem solved!A correct answer not mislead by Hollywood:There are three ways that are commonly used to avoid heat seeker's. Passive: this is done by shielding the hot exhaust from the heat seeking system on the missile. The stealth bomber uses this systemFlairs: The aircraft being fired upon puts out one or usually many flairs that burn white hot to attract the missile away from the aircraft. This is fitted to almost every US military aircraft.Maneuver: The idea is to have the missile get close enough and then make a turn or other maneuver the missile cant follow. This usually requires several turns done exactly right to get the desired effect.

Can supersonic aircraft dodge from missiles?

The answer is yes. Supersonic aircraft can dodge from missiles. No one is going to say this is going to easy to shoot down supersonic planes. They travel at high speed making it very difficult to destroy these planes in the air. Lots of supersonic aircraft have radar that allows them to know that there is a missile become from behind them, they also heat up their anti-missile flares to get ready to dodge. This also allows them to intercept missiles to help them dodge. Some of these planes might carry weapons and can destroy anti-aircraft missile launchers.

I can get you going in the right direction but don't know the actual date. The Sidewinder Missile was developed at the Naval Weapons Center in China Lake California in the 1950's. It was named the sidewinder because the base is located in the upper Mohave desert and has a huge population of Sidewinder Rattlesnakes. So, if you look up Sidewinder Missiles you will be on your way to success.
