This book explores the world of stealth warplanes, examining the technology that allows these aircraft to evade detection by radar and other defensive systems. It investigates how deception, evasion, and concealment are achieved in the air, using radar-absorbing materials, managing heat and sound emissions, and employing sophisticated electronic warfare.
Richardson analyses what makes warplanes stealthy and how they reach targets undetected. It identifies the nations possessing these weapons and considers methods to counteract stealth technology, discussing the ongoing interplay between countermeasures. It describes specific aircraft and the "black programmes" that birthed them. It looks forward to how aerial warfare could be altered in the future.
