PRO tip: if you ever detect a bird flying at 600 mph in your radar, shot it down!

That's how the serbs detected f117 , the hardest part is locking on them but we have more computing powers that we were , so stealth basically useless

@@boiboiboi1419 Nope, he got hit by missile switched to line-of-sight guidance.

I think you might find that the radar might not display things as small as birds, or the radar display would just be cluttered. Whether they can distinguish between bird signals travelling at high speed is another thing. If stealth is useless, why are other countries building stealth aircraft as well. Longer wave length radars seem to have some effect in finding stealth aircraft, but these can not achieve a missile lock.

Degsie1975 why? For deterrence, only usa , china and russia building stealth aircraft, and the rest of the world aiming for super maneuverable craft like gripen , su35 , mirages Why ? Because of wing man drones, wing man drones can be customized into many thing , anti stealth , anti bvr , anti jammers We're going back to dog fighting

Kalgoorlie10 exactly what I thought xd

You mean you've never seen a Jet-Powered bird before? Get with the times, Sheesh...

Except for the fact that radars filter out small things such as birds

What about the pootis bird traveling at the speed of light.

Why filter out the birds just make it higher send-recieve timing and add a predictive trajectory computer. If it flies fast enough show it.

probably the first intuition would be that it is a missile (?)

Guy 3: are you two kidding me?!? It just took out a bunker you but skulls!! Declare war!!!!

the soldiers are fast *but big bird with bomb is faster*

It'd get filtered out

Giant falcon that's diving

Objects like birds are filtered out

Good radars will see a large bird (probably bigger than that) moving at 500 mph. Cheap soviet-era radars won't see anything. A great majority of Chinese/North Korea/Iraq militaries are made up of soviet-era technology. Any modern tools these militaries have are few and far between, and these few are legally bought or poorly copied from American defense contractors. I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly stopped working in a war against the people who made them :P

Doesn't matter if they know that a tiny blip moving that fast is a stealth aircraft. What matters is when they can spot it, and if they can track it well enough to guide missiles in the timeframe that it's visible. Stealth aircraft have never been invisible to radar, but they have always been able to fly routes that would be dangerous to normal aircraft. Stealth tech doesn't need to eliminate the enemies ability to see it, just reduce it enough to fly through airspace it otherwise wouldn't be able to.

Dom but at least it won't be a sitting duck

Also the B-2 isn't invisible to X-band radars, it just needs to get closer to be detected, often times significantly.

Mr.Fluffybutt Gaming Low frequency radars can't guide SAM's in though

L band is vhf and is easily jammed.... Also the missile doesn't have l band vhf so it cant see the b2 This reduces chances of a successful intercept ALSO no one wants to discuss us total spectrum dominance program.....

people tend to think "oh it's the same shape so it has the same function"

That's up for debate. It was made with wood and glue infused carbon powder, both absorb radar. The thing flying wing profile does help with RCS, despite the engines being slightly exposed. To top it off, Northrop used it when researching their designs.

Most of the internet heavily exaggerates many aspects of German WWII military tech - a lot of amateur fringe sites multiplying the errors & exaggerations. I looked up the Wiki on the Horton Ho 229 & it is very poor indeed. A far better source is the website for the Smithsonian National Air & Space museum - the people who actually had their hands on the real thing! If you are interested you need only search for: Smithsonian + Horton + "is it stealth?" *Reimar Horton* learned his trade as a designer of pre-war gliders where wood construction was the norm. In the closing parts of WWII materials shortages was a serious problem for the Germans & it was natural to go to a steel frame covered in plywood. For Horton stealth was low on the list of design priorities whereas range & fuel economy was at the top. Thus the overall shape was dictated by the need for low drag to achieve the range required. Also note that It wasn't until 1983 that Horten mentioned that he *PLANNED* to mix sawdust, charcoal & glue between the plies of the wood, but we know it was never actually implemented. The Wiki of course tells a different story - the wrong story. There is a strong likelihood [IMO] that Horton wasn't being entirely honest in '83 - especially as all the major airplane stealth concepts [including radar absorbent coatings] was a hot topic within military airplane design circles years before '83. Very tempting for him to promote himself as being even more visionary than he was - & yes he was visionary. However the WWII Germans were probably the first to consciously incorporate anti-radar detection into their designs in any major way. *PERHAPS* ... For example it has been suggested that their prototype electric U-Boat had canted sides partly for this reason & also I have read [on sites I don't trust] that the standard U-Boat snorkel head was covered in a rubberised material late in the war for a short time to reduce radar reflection, but it wasn't a success due to salt water & inhospitable conditions quickly removing it. NB I haven't the time today today to check the statements in this para via reliable sources [which ain't Wiki :) ]

In my long post I left this bit out in error: Thanks for an interesting & _absorbing_ vid !!!

+Real Engineering the famous British mosquito was made of wood because of metal shortages because of the production of other aircraft.

Plus it was supposed to be insanely difficult to fly.

The only reason it was less visible is because it was mostly made of wood, which isn't the best microwaves reflecting material in the first place.

Are you british ?

I remember the progam. As I recall it did reduce detection range though not as a deliberate design factor.

Nonsense.

+Alex Parker The Hortens did not have any R.A.D.A.R. characteristics comparable to the B-2, analogically speaking. It wasn't stealth by title or capabilities. It was a lower R.C.S. aircraft compared to most other designs, but only because of its inherent construction and size. The DeHavilland Mosquito shared a similar reduction in R.C.S. because of its construction.

always interested in learning more! My email is in my about section or send it over to me on twitter!

The Tacit Blue was the origin for stealth.

Actually it wasnt, Northrop made a working flying wing before the 229 and because of Jack Northrops obsession with flying wings he kept pushing the design and his designs later inspired the B-2.

pretty much

Hence the similar name Ra-DAR, Radio Detection And Ranging. So-DAR, Sonic/Sound Detection And Ranging, the name for using this principle in meteorological instruments, for military use it's called So-NAR: Sonic Navigation and Ranging. Then there's also (just had to look it up) Vi-DAR, Video Detection And Ranging, and LIDAR, Laser Imaging/Light Detection And Ranging. All work on the same basic principle: sending a pulse and look for how long it takes to get a reflection and where from, except VIDAR, that just a high-speed camera looking for speeding cars, comparing images to calculate speed :D

No ahit

+Pogues Mahone its the truth, brainwashed western bais

***** nazi made it first

True, many smart things in aviation were invented by nazi engineers during WWII, if not they obliged others to invent them by fear of their power.

I wouldn't even say nazi's, the Germans in general are just great engineers and inventors.

The horten 229 never flew, nor did it ever have an engine, and the airbrake rudder system would have been awful.

It was simply a proof of concept. Not intended for combat.

He says in the video that they didn't understand those principles when they built it.

+Sean Dali he also implied that the ho229 is stealthy and could have changed the war because of that, while giving no evidence of the stealthiness apart from the pictures showing a flying wing.

***** That's not what he said.

+Sean Dali "we can only imagine the impact this plane would have had if it were ready before the wars' end" while showing pictures of a destroyed London.

+Sean Dali by the way I will not reply if you don't have a valuable contribution to the discussion anymore.

I'm laughing imagining a dot and then it just goes by the entire screen in a second

not true, the wing shape's reflection properties also redirected away radio waves to the left and right, making the wings essentially invisible to radar. it was the engines inlets that were the only thing that would have shown up on radar, which combined with its speed would have made it capable of bombing Britain and leaving before interception would have been possible. good thing it never flew offensively.

I have my doubts of this was intentional.

GabrielKirov maybe not but both sides would have been very quick to realise what was happening, the war wouldn't have lasted long if the 229 had made it to full production...

[1] GabrielKirov is correct in what he wrote - the Ho 229 was "stealth" [to a small extent] because of the partial wooden construction, but "stealth" was not the design goal. *Reimar Horton* learned his trade as a designer of pre-war gliders where wood construction was the norm. In the closing parts of WWII materials shortages was a serious problem for the Germans & it was natural to go to a central steel frame covered in a plywood skin & an all-wooden wing with plywood skin. For Horton stealth was low on the list of design priorities whereas range & fuel economy was at the top. Thus the overall shape was dictated by the need for low drag to achieve the range required. Nothing at all to do with stealth [2] You are incorrect about the *"wing shape's reflection properties [...] redirected away radio waves"* - nearly all of the wing was wooden & thus it didn't reflect radar at all. The reason for the smallish radar footprint was: [a] lack of propellers - metallic prop discs are very, very 'bright' on radar due to their large diameter & vertical orientation [b] the small amount of vertical radio reflective area because no tail assembly with vertical fin [3] It is not known if the engine inlets were particularly prone to radar detection - the inlets were not tested for this property - only the nose cone was tested [4] Although the wing skeleton is wooden & the skin is wooden ply the engines, inlets, & central body of the plane are metal - thus the plane does have a radar signature I recommend that you go to the website for the *Smithsonian National Air & Space museum* - they are the people who actually had their hands on the real thing. If you are interested you need only search for: *Smithsonian + Horton + "is it stealth?"* Something else to consider: It wasn't until 1983 that Horten mentioned that he PLANNED to mix sawdust, charcoal & glue between the plies of the wood for the purposes of radar 'stealth', but we know it was never actually implemented in any of the prototypes.

lol.. you are seriously overstating the effectiveness and reliability of radar.

I think the radar works in a way, that it only makes bigger things apear on the radar.

First used exactly like that in the Ho-229. German engineering "exported" to the US.

very Northrop

***** I've wrote a research paper about the Operation Paperclip and it's soviet counterpart, the takeover of german machines and gadgets (since the Americans got all the scientists) during the early cold war. So yeah, i am pretty familiar with that topic. Of course, the B-2 is decades ahead of the Horton, since it's developed decades later, but the influence on modern rocket and plane/weapon development is undeniable, since the germans were years ahead, especially with their aeronautic designs.

***** Yeah, guess many had influence in modern rocketry. It never was one person alone.

***** Well, there were quite some around at the same time like Max Valier. Then there was Hermann Oberth, Walther Hohmann (the important Hohmann-Transfer is named after him), Johannes Winkler, Kurt Heinrich Debus, Sergei Korolev, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and of course Wernher von Braun. They all had a place, some theoretically, some by experimenting (like Goddard). Many of them were Germans, organized in the "Society for Space Travel" were they build and tested rockets in the late 20ies and early 30ies. By 1933 the German military got interested and many moved and lived in Pennemünde, the testside for rockettech, where they developed numerous rockets and flying objects like the V2 Aggregat, the first artificial object that crossed the border to space.

StingyThe WhiteSupremacist The F117 was very primitive stealth wise, plus the F117's flew the same routes over and over again allowing the Serbians to set up to counter it

StingyThe WhiteSupremacist and it took the bomb doors jamming to even get a lock

it was shot down becuase it flew only a few miles from the radar, and had it been just a few miles to the side the radar would have a much more difficult time shotting it down

This is correct. When stealth planes were being designed and built in the late 70s/early 80s, computing power was very weak compared to what it is now. Since then radar technology and computer processing power has improved exponentially while the design of the "stealthy" aircraft has remained static. What was white noise showing up on radar is now a clearly defined image of an aircraft.

Neither matters with the B-1 Lancer, since it just flies below the radar at > Mach 1. Even if you do manage to spot it, it's statistically very unlikely that an intercept fighter could catch one and achieve a firing solution.

Kerbal AirForce No it can't. The B1 is only capable of 0.9 mach at sea level and barely above Mach 1 at altitude.

pacus123 Sure. If you accept the declassified top speed as absolute, and assume any targets are at or near sea level.

Kerbal AirForce Good point. Nonetheless I seriously doubt the B1 has a top speed of more than 50% of its declassified top speed.This would still put it sub Mach 2 in which case it would be cannon fodder for Mig 31s with their look down shoot down capability.

Automatically, I highly respect your dad
