    It was invisible. The problem is that the pilots got sloppy and began flying the exact same routes every day. They also stopped the practice of making radical course and altitude changes once their bomb bay doors were closed. Even something as brief as the bomb bay doors being opened is enough to give a radar the aircraft's course altitude and speed. What happened was that some smart Serbian air defense officer noticed the pattern and located a radar so that it would track the aircraft the moment the bomb bay doors opened. He then did some math and determine a time and location the plane would be at if it didn't change altitude, speed or course. He then salvoed a volley of missiles at that location. And since the pilot didn't change course after dropping the bombs he arrived at that location at the same time the missiles did.

    It means some of them were in fact detected but by then it was already too late to do anything about it. They aren't invisible, they just don't have a traditional aircraft signature on radar and instead looks like a small flock of birds going MACH 2. (Oversimplified, it doesn't actually look like a flock of birds either. It just looks like noise on an unfiltered radar coverage) EDIT: The closer the stealth aircraft is to the radar station, the more detectable it becomes. Until it buzzes a tower, at which point i would say it's definitely detected.

    You’re right it wasn’t purposely designed for stealth, but the design did end up being very stealthy for its time, even if that isn’t what they were going for. In 2008 Northrop Grumman estimated it’s RCS to be 60% less than that of the typical WWII aircraft like the Messerschmitt Bf 109 despite it’s overall surface area and wingspan being physically larger than the Bf 109’s.

    Well the truth is is that the Ho 229 was *unintentionaly* Semi-Stealthy. Because of the Flying Wing design itself yes. That's the only mistake of the video. BUT, if it was given more time to expirment with.. The Germans could have discovered it's lower Radar Detection and realized what they just created. Ultimately developing the project into the First Stealthy Jet-Aircraft! The Horten Brothers of this aircraft said that they actually planned to add Radar absorbent skin coating using Charcoal.. But experts apparently say that they actually didn't plan that and only realized it after US development of Stealthy Jets in the 80s.. Not like they couldint have figured it out back then with more experimentation into the Ho 229 project..

    they have thought about it, but it has some big drawbacks. It's super hard to maintain a plasma layer around a jet without it just washing away . Second you would need an absurd amount of power to keep the plasma shield intact. And lastly it would make the pilot blind because it would also block his radar and other detection equipment, so now you're invisible but can't engage the enemy.

    Further than that, it would create a huge electromagnetic signature that would be unlike anything that isn't a stealth plane covered in plasma. We already have missiles that can auto-target aircraft by the electronic signature their avionics suites use, sometimes to such a high degree that you can track supposedly-stealthy planes like the B-2 Spirit of F-22 across national borders.

Zuma made it, its up there just fine and was the first sat test bed for communicating with these unmanned plasma jets on a small scale to test out their systems! Funny how a Vulcan IV Heavy launch gets next to zero hype but a Falcon Heavy that is awesome was out dated before its first launch really!

    Stealth technology isn't a magic bullet. The biggest problem is that involves a tradeoff: You can hide in some radar frequencies, but not in all, and that works mostly because long range radars (the kind stealth planes can detect) aren't precise; so now some countries are moving towards signal processing to improve their capabilities. Also more systems are trying to work as a network with different strategies: You have some long radars to figure out when the stealth plane is, you try to detect it though their radio emissions, you try to use sensitive equipment in other locations as passive system to radar or other kind of bands that are disrupted, heat detection, etc. Of course stealth can help you a lot with a good strategy, but it's also limited though physics.

Also there's that irony of this being one of two own goals the USSR had in this area, by releasing the groundbreaking paper on reflection of electromagnetic waves without noticing its value, so the US could use it to develop the planes to strike them. The other being inadvertently selling the titanium for the SR-71.

We have been testing stealth technologies for 50 years and as a result we know the strengths and weaknesses of each of the tech. This means that any stealth aircraft being developed by other countries are using tech that we know about and have tested. So we have an advantage in detecting stealth aircraft as well.

    So, if Radar is just radio signals bouncing off things in the sky, how do they go about preventing flying birds from making it seem like a shit ton of planes are in the sky? Wouldn't the radio signal bounce off flying birds too?

    RCS is different in different signal frequency. The current stealth tech development focus in x band signal which is used in smaller air based fire control radar and missile seeker. However, the stealth performance is worse against lower frequency signal like s band, L band and UHF band which are used in larger surface based fire control radars, Early warning radars and anti stealth searching radar.

    I’m no expert at all, but I assume this is why: if you are scanning for a plane in the sky, then you can find it because radar signals return. But it doesn’t really work in reverse I’d assume unless the sky was like a radar returning blanket. If the sky isn’t returning radar, and the plane isn’t, you won’t be able to detect if a signal hasn’t returned because I’d assume it would just detect the entire sky.

    re: the first 30 seconds How do we know that they were "nearly undetected?" Do we have confirmed evidence that Iraqi radar was operating and that it didn't detect them? I mean, the Iraqis couldn't detect the F-15s, the F-16s or the F-18s any better, as I recall. Conversely, I also remember a large number of stories where a single Iraqi Mig 25s managed to evade between 5 to 8 F-15s, or where Iraqi jets were able to shoot down american fighter jets... And I'm pretty sure the Iraqis didn't have stealth tech on their old Mig 25s... I guess my point here is: The Gulf War showed that the super UN-stealthy Mig 25 was able to operate against allied forces in a "nearly undetectable" way. At least under optimal conditions. So why do we think that F-117 was any stealthier than the overtly un-stealthy Mig-25? The Serbians certainly didn't find the F-117 hard to detect. I think the largest confounding variable here is that under wartime conditions, radars aren't always on. For example, when the Iraqis (in their jets) heard the F-14s activate their (interceptor) radars, the Iraqis would immediately turn their radars off, to avoid being spotted by what they assumed was the more powerful radar of the F-14. It's not unreasonable to think that ground operators might shut off their own radar for similar reasons, or to avoid HARM munitions targeting them. So, the question is: "How do we know, under real, war-time conditions, how stealthy any jets are?" Particularly when they all seem to be stealthy and they all seem to be un-stealthy at different times and under different conditions...

    Stealth doesn't make an aircraft invisible to radar. Stealth is low observability, but the object can still be observed. It essentially reduces the time an adversary has to be able to detect and respond to a threat.
