It's crazy how fighter aircraft maintenance is overlooked by the man on the street. It's takes a couple hundred hours to train a pilot, yet it takes thousands to train a technician. There's one pilot per plane, there are many techs per plane. It ain't the glory job, but a well trained mechanic is as important as any pilot.

You're correct for part of it. I think you're simplifying the training of fighter pilots. You're leaving out the college degree, training aircraft, and much more.

the SR71 and A2 were low observable aircraft flying at Mach 3 more than 30 years ago.

The problem of the maintenance of coatings is an old story. Another Lockheed fighter was subject to the same issue leading into World War II. The Lockheed F-4 Lightning was the recipient of a special paint known as Cabot or Haze Paint. This paint was equally difficult to apply and maintain and subject to wear. Efforts to improve upon this yielded what was called Synthetic Haze paint which saw limited service on the F-5. In the end, the AAF switched to simply painting their photo-reconnaissance Lightnings with RAF PRU Blue which was often scrubbed off by ground crews to reduce the weight of the aircraft at the squadron level. Haze paint was such a problem that the AAF decided it was better to simply Shadow Shade paint their F-4 and early F-5 Lightnings in olive drab over grey. In the case of our squadron, 34th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron, all of our F-5's were stripped at some point to natural metal. A very messy job! So coatings to help hide and obscure aircraft are an old issue and one which Lockheed has dealt with before. It makes one wonder if the Lightning II was intended to receive a new type of coating in the future as part of its modular design? I certainly hope so! Thanks for the excellent reporting and safe travels!

The first use of RAM was by the Germans in WW2 for u-boat mast head stealth. The Germans used both Jaumann absorbers and ferrites as well as a combination. These are still in use today. This is how the German Jauman absorber worked. It was optimized for allied 10cm (96% radar absorption) radar but worked quite well at 3cm (80% absorption) and fairly well at 25cm. To deal with 10 (actually 9cm) cm radar its thickness was 2.5cm which is a 1/4 wavelength. The material consisted of 7 cardboard sheets impregnated with exponentially increasingly dense of semiconducting graphite. The sheets were joined and impregnated with PVC to make them water tight and wrapped around the periscope or snorkel. The energy of a wave would be gradually absorbed by the semiconducting graphite much as a sea wave hitting the slope of a pebble beach. (as opposed to reflecting of a sea wall). The greatly attenuated wave still hit the the snorkel underneath and reflected but was absorbed on the way out. The small reflection on the surface of the Jaumann coating then cancelled out the reflection on the incoming wave. -Ferrites were molded into PVC for odd shapes where the jaumann absrober couldn't be wrapped. Some 30% was absorbed. By combining Jaumann and Ferrites a 99% absorption could be obtained.

The future of stealth is hard to see

My second ship was an Arliegh Burke class. Deck department would be slowly driven insane taking care of the ram coating the Burkes, the first class of stealth ships have. I remember my first encounter with it, "Oh wow it's kinda spongy..." Poke, poke suddenly "HEEEEY!!!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!! Do not poke the RAM, you better not be a picker!" At that point they felt the only way to keep it safe was an extra watch whose sole job was keeping people from destroying the RAM apparently really bored people became compelled to pick at the RAM. Allegedly someone managed to pick an entire surface clean and our radar signature exploded. Our creative captain used it to advantage stating well no one is gonna look at our radar return and think it's a Burke.

Interestingly most of the effort is for a head on approach. Like the time the F117 was seen over the Baltic, they are still a big fairly flat object seen flying overhead from the ground. The coverage "paint" is interesting, but the are still physical visible to the Mark I eyeball and a pair of binoculars, and sound tracking. Also, they need to cover the tanker with this coating as well, or they can just track the tanker and wait for a fuel up to attack.

Could you Please create a Vid about The Gun Pods on The F-35B and C and how much it affects radar cross-section🙏

A Thicc15-C straight out of ceramakote....... I expect the layering is a bit more than just a coating of paint, maybe more like the polymer tapes used on antenna leading edges. Even then a harder coating more durable than paint would be a big change escpecially if it is a primer layer under a regular paint coating.

I used that academic paper to make some of this paint and now I can drive through speed traps at whatever speed I want

One contention with this video and the issues with RAM along with failing at high speeds. As you said, operating above a certain speed is not allowed except for emergency. Well, that actually means fighting. You can actually train in aircraft where the coating is damaged or simply replaced with a coating that's durable. Then when you get into a real fight, you can move into position sub sonic which is the purpose of stealth. Once engaged it's one plane vs. the other, but even a plane with some damage to some surfaces is going to do better in a fight based on the weapons being used than a plane that has no stealth coatings or shapes. Yes, it will help to replace RAM as technologies allow, but the US military can train and fight with stealth in a way that isn't so financially draining, with the exception of aircraft on ships. Since pilots train from carriers, and a carrier needs to be 100% ready to fight when at sea in an operating theater, there's no way to train higher speed fighting without damaging materials. Having said that, you could shift Navy pilot training to shore facilities for high speed training and then once on ships, the training is about stealth.

I react on one thing here. Thick ceramic coat is mentioned in the end. Maybe they have a very good solution to this but in general ceramic when thick is not flexible. A dynamic part such as a flexing structure on an aircraft like a leading edge does not sound like they will work so well together. But it all depend on how this thick is. And how dependent the Radar absorbing ability is on its thickness. Also this will translate to ossues with bonding if it is an issue with thickness.

I'm gonna guess that the material itself is already developed and the time being researched is how to properly apply the coating for the best radar absorption and performance. I'm gonna guess some kind of polymer will still be used to maintain some ability to absorb shock.

This aircraft ceramic coating sounds a lot like the newer ceramic and graphene coatings available commercially for both professional and home car detailing. This car detailing technology is pretty incredible, when applied it can mean not having to wash and wax a car monthly(recommended). Assuming that a visible "liquid look" isn't as important as application time and protection, I can see how coatings including even a spray application can work on aircraft... A change of formulation would be necessary to increase the amount of ceramic or graphene particles, and to increase the curing time as necessary (for cars typically 2 minutes between coatings, 24hrs to a week for full curing). For cars, the result is usually an expected durability of 6-12 mths for the cheapest coatings and at least 7 years for the more expensive (typically approx $100 for 10 oz). Although car applications typically are extremely expensive due to needing a full day's work of prep and application, if an aircraft was less concerned about looks I'd imagine the process could be automated enough to achieve at least the same kind of durability at relatively low manual cost per application with its special, more concentrated formulation. This is not rocket science and it worries me a bit that the basic concept and maybe even a good part of the needed formulation is so widely and publicly available, but it also means that this extremely expensive and necessary cost component to fly stealth aircraft likely can be brought down very, very low to the cost of relatively common car detailing.

Is there really aliens in area 51

Goodness me, F-22 is such a pretty plane. Not as good as Spitfire. F-22 has no vertical lines, but Spitfire has no straight lines. It's all graceful curves and ellipses. lol. Cheers for the vid mate.

I just saw a chrome coating for increased stealth and durability. Where does this fit in the mix?
