![]() All the Germans did was use radar absorbing paint. This does not qualify as inventing "stealth", yet no German seems to understand this. This was true of both sides, actually. The first stealthy warplane is considered to be the Horten/Gotha nurflugel fighter-bomber, the second the Northrop YB-49. Neither one was meant to be stealthy; the builders were simply trying to build an all-wing aircraft. Only after it was flying did the builders discover they couldn't be seen on the radar of the time (in the case of the Horten, airborne radar). all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |
