Stealth planes

These Aircrafts are Stealth Planes, What is Stealth? Well let me tell you. Stealth is something that is invinsible to radar. Like the one on the top left, the Black Bird SR-71 Lockheed, it is a spy plane, carrying cameras used by the USAF in 1966. That plane is so fast faster than the speed of sound, no defence can shoot it down because tof the great speed of the plane, it can just fly above you and take a hundred pictures in a second and you wont even notice it! Pilots have to wear astronaut-like suits because of the great speed and pressure, this plane cost about more than a Billion U.S Dollars! But sadly only 32 were built.

The plane on the top right and bottom is the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, it is an American Stealth Bomber. That plane is a real black bird... no not the Spy one like a real alive living bird! Black bird! Because at a radar it only shows that plane as a bird so this plane is very sneaky, flat but fatal!! This costs about U.S 737 million dollars and thats a lot!

Now this weird looking boomarang on the bottom left has a different job, can you guess?.. no not a spy plane nor a bomber, its a Fighter! This is the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter, you may think this... "were are the weapons, missiles or rockets?" Well the Stealth Bomber and the Nighthawk hides its engines, weapons, missiles, rockets and cockpit. It makes it harder for the heat-seeking guided missile to target heat. Also this plane costs about U.S 111.2 million dollars! Only 64 were built in 1983 and so on.

You may have noticed but all their windows, paintings, corners and engines are very different because the point of triangle windows is to become invincible, scatter radar and absorb radar... This paragraph is all about stealth. Its paint. The paint is a special confidential paint from the USAF. Its is for the radar waves to bounce of the paint and absorb it also if your plane gets to hot the metals wont melt. Corners- are very sharp and shaped like a triangle except the spy one of course... again to scatter radar. Engines- are hidden so any guided missiles e.g heat-seeking cant find the heat of the engine. Well that is for now, thank you for reading.
