Military Aircraft Technology-Stealth

Stealth Technology:-

Stealth means low observable . The very basic idea of Stealth Technology in the military is to blend in with the background. It was during the World War II RADAR was first used in the warfront as an early Warning system against fleets of bombers.From then onwards the quest for a technology which could cheat the radar system arised. Engineers began looking at ways to make planes harder to track. The result of the quest ended in the most sophisticated technology- The Stealth Technology.
Stealth Technology is used in the construction of mobile military systems such as aircrafts, tanks and ships to significantly reduce their detection by an enemy, primarily by an enemy RADAR. The low observability unique characteristics gives it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy s most sophisticated defences and threaten its most valued and heavily defended targets.

• USS Abraham Lincoln at Pearl Harbor HawaiiThese photographs are not images of a prototype F/A-37 “Talon” aircraft being tested aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, but pictures taken from the filming of the motion picture Stealth (which wasn’t that good and had numerous incorrect features).
• Although these pictures come from a fictional movie, they were taken aboard a real U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was used for filming while the vessel was at San Diego’s Naval Air Station North Island in June 2004.

• Fighter jets chocked and chained to the deck, Sailors scurrying from place to place, the occasional whirr of rising aircraft elevators, this could be a hangar bay of any aircraft carrier. In fact, the repetitious scene often causes shipmates to become oblivious to their overwhelming surroundings.
• Teamwork seemed to be the word of the week, as both the movie and ship’s crews worked together to complete the ship’s mission and lend a hand in the production.
• Abe Sailors were given numerous opportunities throughout the week to be extras in the film, and share the spotlight with the Hollywood lineup. Donning float coats and cranials, the Sailors, producers and actors looked alike on the flight deck as the cameras rolled.
