As the title says. Also, how actually effective is the radar footprint reduction? I’ve heard that a radar might register a stealth aircraft as a bird and not a plane, which makes no sense at all.
In: Technology
Radar works by signals reflecting (bouncing back) off an object back to the source.
Normal aircraft shapes bounces lots of signals straight back.
Stealth designs cause the radar signal to bounce off in a random direction. It scatters. The radar system can’t tell the difference between a signal that hit nothing and a signal that hit something but never came back.
