Ight I have essentially no knowledge in planes. What makes a big triangle more stealthy than say a Pringles can with wings?
In: Technology
ELI5 Answer: Radar works by sending out light waves, the waves bounce off of objects and the radar picks up this returned light. You can make your plane more stealthy by:
1. Shaping your plane so that the waves bounce away from the source.
2. Coat you plane in material that absorbs some of the waves
