Stealth Aircraft, military aircraft, fighters, and bombers designed to elude detection and tracking systems, such as radar and infrared monitoring . Stealth technology is also used to mask unmanned objects such as cruise missiles .
Stealth technology includes a variety of design features that affect an aircraft’s signal, also called its signature, on tracking systems. These features include an aircraft’s shape and the materials used to build it. For example, it is harder for a radar to detect an aircraft that has smooth, rounded curves. Special composite materials or coatings on the surface of an aircraft can absorb or deflect radar signals. Engines placed within the body of the aircraft and exhaust vents may be arranged to mask the heat emitted from engines and help hide an aircraft from heat-seeking infrared sensors. Reducing the noise and vibration produced by a stealth aircraft may also minimize its acoustic signature. In addition, stealth aircraft are equipped with special electronics for suppressing or confusing enemy monitoring systems
