Abstract
Stealth means the reduction of all signature including the reflection/emission of radar, infrared, visible light and audio signals. Stealth aircraft can significantly improve the penetration capability, the combat survivability and the mission effectiveness. This paper presents the basic concept, the key elements and the application examples of stealth aircraft technology. Also it briefly describes the effect of the modern stealth aircraft on the future air warfare.
