The modern stealth 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.
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. These are radio spectrum emissions.
Military
aircraft design engineers go through great lengths to squelch these types
of emissions.

There was a secret stealth
design, read more here 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
The reason the F-117 stealth fighter flies subsonic is not to
announce it's presence on approach to the target, if you do the
math, I'm sure someone could figure out that is has the thrust
to weight ratio to make it possible. Or maybe it had to do
with the Colonel's last flight at TTR, I recovered Ol'Sweaty
that night, and he said "I didn't go over .9, but I know it'll
go. .blank. blank", but what do i know, I'm just a Crew Chief, Thanx-
