Ight I have essentially no knowledge in planes. What makes a big triangle more stealthy than say a Pringles can with wings?
In: Technology
Aircraft do not need to be undetectable to human senses. You can still see/hear stealth aircraft.
They need to reduce their signature on radar. Without radar, you won’t have early warning to incoming aircraft. You also need radar to track aircraft and guide anti-aircraft missiles towards their targets.
Stealth aircraft work by either reflecting or adsorbing radar waves. This reduces (but can never completely eliminate) their radar signature.
