As an avid aviation, technology, and military junkie I'm very impressed with the quality of information in this video. Given that I thought you might be speaking out of your area of expertise I was not expecting this video to be so full of good information. Especially given how much disinformation is out there on Stealth technology these days. I commend you, even I learned something new from this.
Fun fact about flight stability. The Eurofighter is purposefully built to fly as unstable as possible. In this case, stealth is not the reason, instead it is the fact that an aircraft that flies unstable is physically easier to get off-course, making it more maneuverable. This makes flying it incredibly difficult, virtually impossible, right? No, it doesn't, because it has a fly-by-wire system that is constantly making microadjustments to keep the plane steady, executing the pilot's commands precisely and quickly.
Joshua Tsang Well, an aircraft that flies unstably is one that does not fly stable (kinda obvious, but that means it is necessary to explain what it means if an aircraft flies stably). An aircraft flies stably when all forces (aerodynamics, weight, etc.) pretty much cancel out, meaning without any input the plane would fly steadily and not change orientation, or at least if it did change orientation, it would do it in a regular manner (like if it was pulling up or down continuously). Jumbo jets, for example, are built for maximum stability, since this provides a good flying experience, safety and efficiency. However, since the plane "wants" to hold its course, the force needed to change that course is rather large (aerodynamics have the biggest influence on that), which is a problem for fighter planes that need to be very maneuverable. That's why it's useful to build them so that they will fly unstable, meaning they are built so that if no input was given, they would probably "wiggle around" a bit and change course irregularly. This "wiggling" is, in the case of the Eurofighter (and I think others, too) counteracted by an electrical system that basically gives the opposite command of what the plane wants to do, and since it is irregular, it needs to measure and process the plane's movements in real time. The advantage is that its course can be changed with rather little force and also, the plane will not be dragged back to its original course (this can happen with less maneuverable aircrafts, mostly if the rudder is used too strongly).
JustusLM This is interesting, thanks for the detailed reply. May I ask if an 'unstable' aerodynamics is in fact a metastable state, or an actual unstable state?
JustusLM The Eurofighter is absolutely not "as unstable as possible". There are significant trade offs between stability and maneuverability, and it's not as simple as "more unstable = more better". In fact, that's a terrible design philosophy. Furthermore, the Eurofighter is not the only aircraft that's unstable. All modern military fighters are unstable, but only in pitch and rarely (if ever) in yaw and roll. Even the Boeing 787 is what's called neutrally stable in pitch, neither stable nor unstable. This is for fuel efficiency reasons, not maneuverability.
Akash Mishra next on UA-cam comments: getting all worked up about public information easily found with a Google search and claiming it to be "highly classified"
Nothing in this video is classified. The classified info is how these stealth mechanisms are engineered, rather than what well-known laws of physics they rely on.
Everyone in the comments talking about the F-117 lost in Serbia in 1999, let me explain this to you. The F-117 did not get shot down because of it "lack of stealth" originally. The main reasons for why this nighthawk was shot down were: bomb bay doors open (reducing its stealth capability and increasing its RCS), the F-117 had been flying the same route continuously and the serbian forces knew roughly where to focus their radar search, and the implementation of LFR (low frequency radar) which is effecive at detecting earlier generation stealth aircraft such as the F-117 and SR-71, but has very big issues with background noise, needs to know exactly where to look, is not very good at guiding missiles onto a target and requires a very very large antenna array. This is why the F-117 Nighthawk was shot down. Not because its stealth didn't work, but rather a combination of unfortunate factors which in the end resulted in the first and only loss of a stealth aircraft to date.
Trying to talk rationally with the people claiming stealth doesn't work because a single F-117 was shot down in it's entire operation history is like talking to a flat earth moron. They simply do not possess the intelligence required to talk about the subject matter.
+David Smith +AugmentedGravity It was not shot once, they got hit additonal 3 times, the other 3 just ended up somewhere in Bosnia so Serbian cameras couldn't film them. The bay door being opened and flight patterns is a pure speculation and myth used to excuse the failure. F177s haven't flew 100s of sorties, most of the targets were hit with tomahawks (400 of them were sent just on the first night of the bombing) and the "normal" jets flying above the height those outdated Neva missiles from 1960s were able to reach. While it is more difficult to track down stealth planes from radars in other planes, it's way easier to do it from the ground radars which have far bigger antennas and which can alternate their frequency relatively fast (from small wavelength to the bigger ones). With bigger wavelengths you can track down the plane's approximate location, and with that data, you can program your radar to focus with smaller wavelengths to that location giving you with more precise plane's location and speed. In '99 that was the top of the technology being hit by a unit of men which knew what they were doing using outdated technology
Augumentedgravity......ever heard bout OTH radars?? They use low frequency radiowaves......RCS increases with decreasing frequency........it's true that target resolution is clear at high frequencies and less noise clutter...but using digital signal processing technique we can eliminate noise at lower frequencies.....& That's how they detected F117 A........
From someone who personally worked with 3 of these aircraft mentioned: Linus did a good job on the basics of stealth technology. Good job👌 For future reference: these paints can cost up to $5000/ GALLON. Yes I said Gallon. GG. And technology itself using avionics can help reduce radar return. The F22 is a great example of this.
Naw. This was all dung so he is safe. the F117 demanded a lot on shaping. The coatings and other details of the B2, F22, and F35 are classified and what Linus said was at best just what people guess and put on the internet.
I think we was just referring to the facets and faces on the F-117. However, the triangles under the ram that he mentioned would be a better example of RAS
This is really cool. I kinda knew about the flat shapes but not the paint. And nice job on the graphics if you did them in house. Their no thought cafe graphics but simple and shows us how it visually is happening.
Ayyy you know what few people know about the f-117 Linus. It is truly an attacker. They gave it a fighter designation so they could get the best pilots the Air Force had to offer.
-T-X-M- as Linus said it was very unstable. Not just anyone could successfully fly it. The fighter pilots we're truly the best of the best. They gave it a fighter designation to allow them to keep their pride. Just look up the payload of the plane and you will see that it really didn't have a air superiority roll.
Does anyone else wish linus would go into more detail? Don't get me wrong I love the vids. I just wish there were atleast more parts relating to topics like this one( how does stealth work part 1 of 4).
The US did not have a good supply of titanium. So the they set up a fake company to purchase the titanium from the USSR. The vary country that was to be spied on. LOL
First of all, I love your channel. With that said, you are very wrong about why the shape of a stealth airplane is shaped the way it is. The shape creates an electromagnetic bubble around it at the frequencies RADARs use. (you can refer to the original document.) The best way to explain it is the way light travels through a series of slits and creates dots on a screen. It is this math that needs modern computers and why the FB-111 uses flat sides.
Linus missed an interesting tidbit. All stealth designs avoid planar surfaces intersecting at right angles. A little bit of ray tracing shows that a pair of planar surfaces will reflect an incoming radar (or light) beam back to the sender no matter what direction the beam comes from. As an example of the opposite of stealth, the inside corner of a cube (an array of them) was put on the moon to reflect laser beams back to the sender irrespective of position on the moon. This avoidance of concave right angles can be seen in air intakes and outlets of stealth aircraft.
Mostly what you are talking about is Passive radar deflection methods, years ago, Illegal in both the US and Canada you could order a kit for your car that deployed a field around the car through a front plate and a rear plate, more complex kits had side pieces for your car. They produced a M.A.S.C. Unit that essentially that actively dispersed Laser and Radar signals that either registered as nothing on a laser or showed "ERR" on the radar gun. basically its the same idea as reducing sound waves like active noise cancelling sending waves that cancel each other out of the opposite frequency.
I thought up a design drew it and posted it the UA-cam video is called "gen 6 stealth jet fighter design (top view)pt. 1 🇺🇸"! There is also second video "gen. 6 stealth jet fighter design ( bottom view ) pt. 2 🇺🇸
Linus, great video but one tiny tiny error that probably doesn't even matter. At 2:55 you mention the F-35, but with the name "Lightning", which instead refers to the legendary P-38 Lightning. The F-35 is called the Lightning II.
1kparmar trust me I wish I had those pictures too. But as far as I know no pictures or anything were allowed at the time because if the top secret nature. This was also in the 80s and 90s
So here's my question about stealth fighters and ships. I understand the radar absorbing materials and the shapes that they use to absorb and deflect the radar waves but what I can't understand is how we make the RF that the radar and other transmitters from the stealth planes and ships not give them away. Even when I was in the navy many, many years ago we had Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) which not only told us somebody was there but by analyzing the parameters of that radar signal we could even tell what kind of radar it was.
I'll give you credit for good guesses but the fact is that all a radar is is a radio transmitter and receiver and any receiver that had the capability to scan different wavelengths in the band that radar has got to use in order to function is just as detectable as the radio stations that you can pick up in your car radio.
My local automotive shop doesn't seem to carry any RF absorbing paints, paramagnetic paints, "iron ball" paints, "carbon diffuser" paints, no stealth stuff at all. No way to beat that radar speed trap, yet.

Radar has 3 phase detection ring its primary phase detects "refracting radar waves" of it own emissions Its second phase "acts as a metal detector of up 5 miles or more" exact rang is classified after that it's 3rd phase of detection is "detecting other radar emission" not of its own emissions. Stealth fighter do turn off their radars and only passively detect enemy radar wave to avoid SAM sites and minimize the ability of an enemy to triangulate the fighter air crafts position. And yes the enemy has the same knowledge and Tech
That’s not actually how it works, it’s a secret so they say it’s just paint and some angles to throw the enemy off. Every stealth plane actually has sensors and transmitters on every flat surface, when radar waves bounce off the transmitter blasts the exact opposite radar wave back at the enemy radar very similar to your noise cancelling headphones. Reason they don’t use round surfaces is that it’s too hard to calculate what wave to send back.
Okey. It's easy to understand this rocket science if you imagine a radar to be a flashlight. So you're in the darkest night ever but with flashlight in your hands. The objects painted in white will be much more visible when you point flashlight in that direction then black ones. It's because black materials absorb light better. Mirror will be kinda invisible too unless it reflects light right back to you. The heat is a problem for stealth fighters too. The hottest visible parts of plane are exhaust and compressor (fans in front of the engine). Engineers hide compressor making it not directly visible (engine looses some power however). Exhaust is made cooler by using a special "stealth" fuel. Noise is not a big problem if you're supersonic. It's too slow and inaccurate for shooting missiles at you :) P.S. pyramids are also used in sound recording so Linus could even demonstrate those.
There is a sign on the side of the road that displays your current speed that I drive by everyday on my way to work. It never displays my speed, I must have a stealth mini van.

I understand the radar absorbing materials and the shapes that they use to absorb and deflect the radar waves but what I can't understand is how we make the RF that the radar and other transmitters from the stealth planes and ships not give them away. Even when I was in the navy many, many years ago we had Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) which not only told us somebody was there but by analyzing the parameters of that radar signal we could even tell what kind of radar it was.
But all frequencies are just as detectable as any RF.
A wave length is a frequency.
I'll give you credit for good guesses but the fact is that all a radar is is a radio transmitter and receiver and any receiver that had the capability to scan different wavelengths in the band that radar has got to use in order to function is just as detectable as the radio stations that you can pick up in your car radio.

So technically the Pyramids of Giza are stealth? Hmm 🤔
fun fact: Pyramids are not very secure, i see people climbing on them all day. (i live right next to them)
The trick to making curved surfaces stealthy is not having a constant radius.
My local automotive shop doesn't seem to carry any RF absorbing paints, paramagnetic paints, "iron ball" paints, "carbon diffuser" paints, no stealth stuff at all.
No way to beat that radar speed trap, yet.
U can also have something called passive radar, witch detects "sounds" without emitting radio pings
Shape: lambo
I chuckled quietly to myself
no stealth plane can hide from the S-400.

That’s not actually how it works, it’s a secret so they say it’s just paint and some angles to throw the enemy off. Every stealth plane actually has sensors and transmitters on every flat surface, when radar waves bounce off the transmitter blasts the exact opposite radar wave back at the enemy radar very similar to your noise cancelling headphones. Reason they don’t use round surfaces is that it’s too hard to calculate what wave to send back.

stops asking to subscribe, it would make the video so much better!
This techquickie was fucking awesome
My dad developed his own stealth technology:)
At least thats what I think happened all those years ago.
Just like me fr💀
That moment when the video autoplays in 144p instead of 1440p..
The first stealth shapes were extremely angular because of the computational power available at the time
I am pretty excited to see how it goes if Linus will drop this one. :D

Okey. It's easy to understand this rocket science if you imagine a radar to be a flashlight. So you're in the darkest night ever but with flashlight in your hands. The objects painted in white will be much more visible when you point flashlight in that direction then black ones. It's because black materials absorb light better. Mirror will be kinda invisible too unless it reflects light right back to you.
The heat is a problem for stealth fighters too. The hottest visible parts of plane are exhaust and compressor (fans in front of the engine). Engineers hide compressor making it not directly visible (engine looses some power however). Exhaust is made cooler by using a special "stealth" fuel.
Noise is not a big problem if you're supersonic. It's too slow and inaccurate for shooting missiles at you :)
P.S. pyramids are also used in sound recording so Linus could even demonstrate those.
Flashlights really are the best analogy for radar. It even works if you consider you'll show yourself by turning your flashlight on.
There is a sign on the side of the road that displays your current speed that I drive by everyday on my way to work. It never displays my speed, I must have a stealth mini van.
I did not see this video coming
