    The document discusses stealth aircraft technology. It provides examples of stealth aircraft like the F-117 Nighthawk, F-22 Raptor, and B-2 Spirit. Stealth aircraft use features like radar-absorbent materials and sloped edges to scatter and redirect radar signals away from detectors, making the aircraft partially invisible to radar. While stealth technology enhances defense capabilities, stealth aircraft also have limitations like reduced payload capacity, higher costs, and vulnerability during certain flight modes. Future applications of stealth include incorporating the technology into other military vehicles beyond just aircraft.

    STEALTH AIRCRAFT

    BY

    Dhanalakshmi

    WHAT IS STEALTH
    Partially invisible to radar of detection.

    Combination of passive low observable features &active emitters

    HOW DOES IT WORK

    By reflection & absorption

    RAS RAM IR

    F-117A NIGHTHAWK SA

    At the cold war nd also in Gulf War

    From New Mexico to Dubai


    Long edges nd slopes r de key elements they scatter & redirect signals away from de detector

    F-22 RAPTOR
    5TH Generation stealth air superiority fighter

    Is without compromising aerodynamic performance

    B-2 SPIRIT

    Stealth bomber of the US Force In 1994 near Point Mugu,California dropped 47 500lb class mark 82 bombs This shows that half of a B-2s total ordance payload in block 30 configuration Made of highly specialized materials such as Polygraphite.

    Instability of design Instability of design ability Dog fighting Electromagnetic emissions DogVulnerable modes of flight fighting ability Reduced payload Electromagnetic emissions Vulnerable mode of flight

    LIMITATIONS

    LIMITATIONS

    Motivation behind Stealth Technology


    Not just to avoid missiles being fired at it but also to give total deniability to covert operations. To strike targets where its impossible to reach. Job of SA pilot is not let others to know that he was ever there.

    PLASMA STEALTH
    Called as Active Stealth Technology in scientific terms. By Russians Milestone in ST The aircraft injects a stream of plasma in front of the aircraft it ll cover de entire body of the fighter & will absorb most of de electromagnetic energy of de radar waves, thus making de aircraft difficult to detect It s SUPER FUCTRUM /RAPTOR KILLER.

    Disadvantages
    Cannot fly as fast r s not maneuverable than other aircraft nd cannot turn as it thinks. Reduced amount of payload it can carry.

    Sheer cost

    COST
    More expensive EX B-2 SPIRIT s $2 billion F-117 s $70 million F-22 s $100 million

    FUTURE
    Air Combat
    Ll not only be incorporated in fighters & bombers but also in Ships,Helicopters,Tanks&Transport Planes.

    CONCLUSION
    It is the harbinger of luck for our NATION DEFENCE nd also to put an end to the bad guys forever
