stealth bomber
Radar-evading aircraft
A stealth bomber is a military aircraft designed to evade radar detection while delivering bombs or missiles.
The angular shape and special materials absorb or deflect radar signals rather than reflecting them back: The stealth bomber slipped past enemy air defenses undetected.
The B-2 Spirit is the most famous example.
