Ight I have essentially no knowledge in planes. What makes a big triangle more stealthy than say a Pringles can with wings?
In: Technology
There’s a few different things going on.
First, the way it is shaped gives very few edges. There is no tails, canards or other shapes. The engines and their intakes are hidden on top of the aircraft and can’t be seen from most directions and the aircraft is generally a single blended shape with no features sticking out. Radar waves that strike it bounce off, but generally don’t bounce back to the transmitter.
Second is it’s coated in material that absorbs radar waves.
Last, it’s a dark color. This makes it harder to see at night.
