Preface
When the Wright brothers invented the airplane, they effectively changed the way travel, exploration and warfare forever. Examples of this can be found in World War I and II, a two pilot system was created for successfully identifying and bombing specific targets. In the Battle of Britain this system used by Royal Air Force (RAF) so they could defend their territory against German Luftwaffe and their turn the battle to their advantage. In the Vietnam War American pilots used surface-to-air missile (SAM), where the radar and electronic jamming played a big role, and the use of radar technology is used to this day. Since the Wright brothers’ original design, airplanes have drastically improved upon their design as well as functionality; such as: F-35 on American side and their Russian counterpart Sukhoi Su-57 and even now Chinese playing in this market with their Chengdu J-20. While they all are the sixth-generation (GEN-VI) fighter jets, they have one common technical challenge, that is, they all need to be stealthy in order to avoid any radar detection. However, the question is are they really stealthy as their manufacturers claim by using radar absorbing mater
