stealth bombers

Radar-evading aircraft

Stealth bombers are military aircraft designed to evade radar detection through specialized shapes, materials, and coatings that absorb or deflect radar signals.

The angular, bat-like silhouette of planes like the B-2 Spirit has become iconic: Stealth bombers flew undetected over enemy territory.

The technology revolutionized air warfare by allowing deep penetration missions without fighter escort.
