KAAN STEALTH and Exposed Rivets

[karlvongazenberg]

Nice to know, but its stil a prototype, so even if the rivets are not of the same impedance, as the rest of the kite, its not really important, Yet.

The knowledge that is dropped in this channel is mind blowing!!!

I saw the documentary on YF 23 and one of the engineers said platform alignment and smooth surfaces are the key to stealth. The F22 uses faceted surfaces which is less aerodynamic than the duck shape.

For Radar Stealth, how derives from the shape, RAM coating(s), sealing joints and internal air frame materials and internal design ?

Well, you'd wanna skin-wrap over the rivets, with a radar opaque substance. But you would want to see them smooth enough for a flush finish with the wrap.

American solution for this is stealth tape

Interesting... But I thought the f35's "super power" wasn't the frontal arc low observability or whatever.. but passive target identification and targeting? Its superpower is in its nose not the airframe? But yes, not emitting from pesky rivets would be better!😂

Can someone please explain why russia keeps publishing the rcs of their militsry aircraft ?

[sgt.grinch]

Really? Not only isn’t it stealthy, it whistles too.

Bro you really talk crazy sometimes.No fifth Gen engines no ability to get fifth engines for that aircraft.Sensor fusion that isn’t fifth Gen.They are expecting 10 in service hopefully by 2032.
