effectiveness of infra red sensors at detecting aircraft
How effective are infra-red sensors, such as those on some anti aircraft
missiles, at detecting aircraft? Stealth aircraft are, I imagine, harder to detect, but by how much? Also, is there a simple rule-of-thumb relationship between how fast an aircraft is travelling and how much air friction heats it up (and therefore how much infra red radiation it gives off)? |
