F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter Jet Aircraft Aircraft Books and Military Jet Fighter Book Store.The F-117A has given the USAF an introduction to what a "stealth" aircraft is capable of, and has allowed new tactics and doctrine to be developed for their use. These F117 Stealth Fighter Books will show you every part of the airplane right to the edge of secret. The stealth fighter has been around for quite some time not and is being replaced by the Stealth F-22 Raptor, the Joint Strike Fighter and the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. The modern stealth fighter airplane is defined as a plane with a low radar return signature. However, another unknown stealth factor is that the internal electronics produce a very low emission of radio frequencies that can be heard by ground, radio frequency listening devices. To further understand this type of emission, you can test this yourself by taking a hand calculator or a camera strobe and holding it near the antenna of an AM radio. Flash the strobe then listen to its recharge on the radio or play with the calculator and listen to the logic gates switch on and off on the radio, it's really interesting. These are radio spectrum emissions. Military aircraft design engineers go through great lengths to squelch these types of emissions. Read about the stealth secrets revealed

There was a secret stealth
design, placed on the
anti-submarine aircraft
or World
War 2. These aircraft would search for
submarines by flying
patterns at low levels over sectors of the ocean, the enemy sub lookouts
would be able to see the airplanes up to fifteen miles away. This may sound strange, but the solution was to place landing lights all
along the leading edge of the wings and turn the lights on. This
would hide the airplane by matching the amount of light emissions from
the airplane to the amount of light from the normal background brightness. Instead of having the submarine lookouts see a dark object on the horizon
at fifteen miles, the approaching airplane would not be visible until it
was three to five miles away. With this short range of detection,
the submarine was not able to dive before the airplane was on top of the
sub.
One radar method of detecting modern stealth airplanes is very similar to the way the submarine lookouts of WW2 were able to see the airplanes at the fifteen mile distance. The airplane at fifteen miles blocked the background light making it visible as a black dot on the horizon. A modern stealth airplane reflects so little radiation that it also appears as a dark object to the radar because it blocks the background radar return. Luckily this only works with very highly sensitive radar's that are more sensitive than the usual enemy radar. A letter from one of our readers 12-11-03
