Abstract
The stealth technology to conceal an aircraft from the vision of a radar have been accomplished by coating the surface with special paints absorbing the electromagnetic wave. Nowadays, researches to utilize characteristics of the plasma-wave interaction for realizing the stealth technology are actively progressed. In this paper, to investigate the physical feasibility of the plasma stealth, calculation results for the required conditions of the plasma cloaking on the aircraft flying in the air for showing the stealth function, using a flat non-magnetized non-uniform plasma model, are reported and discussed.
