ELUSIVE BIRDS…

Stealth is a technological wizardry which is defined as a clandestine way of stealing; the modern day definition however revolves around science of deflection and defines stealth as an undetectable cloak over an aircraft for combat purposes. The technology heavily relies on the concept of Radar Cross Section (RCS), where the signature of an aircraft is significantly reduced on radars depending on wavelengths. One shortcoming however has been the comparative lower speeds of stealth designed aircrafts. In order to reduce the heat signature, these aircrafts have to rely on engines without after burners, reducing the operating speeds and making the aircraft s vulnerable to faster enemy intruders.
