Ight I have essentially no knowledge in planes. What makes a big triangle more stealthy than say a Pringles can with wings?
In: Technology
In addition to what others said, stealth itself is not *invisible* to radar. It’s better to think of stealth as camouflage.
The more lower the radar cross section (the more stealth it is), the more difficult it is to identify and lock with missiles.
Long wave radar can detect the presence of a stealth plane, but shorter wave, more precise radar needed to guide missiles had a harder time doing to. Stealth can greatly reduce the range at which radar guided missiles can target and track the plane. It can decrease those missiles accuracy.
