Stealth Aircraft

Stealth aircraft are designed to avoid detection using a variety of technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared, visible light, radio frequency spectrum, and audio, collectively known as stealth technology. The most stealth aircraft is the US built Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman produced aircrafts F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lighting II and the B-2 Spirit bomber. U.S is the only country which has developed and deployed stealth aircrafts.

The goal of stealth technology is to make an airplane invisible to radar.  The airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment. The airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.

A stealth bomber is The 'flying wing' shaped Stealth Bomber is a unique aircraft that's designed to make it as invisible as possible. As a result, the B-2's thermal signature is kept to the bare minimum, making it harder for thermal sensors to detect the bomber as well as lowering the aircraft's acoustic footprint.

Northrop Grumman, Northrop Corporation and Hughes Aircraft Company built the Stealth Aircraft. The SR-71 is a stealth fighter that can barely be seen, let alone hit, which is the one of the fastest Stealth Aircraft.
