A Stealth U.S. Aircraft in China? | What on Earth?

When the guy said 'stealth' came from the Soviets, I stopped watching. As for supposedly an F-117 in China, more likely just a life size model. Nothing more.

Agreed, its like the Iranian Nimitz class mockup.

Mockup of F-117A; most likely a research experiment.

I believe it was a Soviet scientists that developed mathematical formulas used to develop stealth.

It was the skunk works however that used computers to solve those equations to shape flying aircraft.

Wrong. I have Ufimtsev's text in my library. His work is not any sort of 'cookbook' on how to create a 'stealth' aircraft. What Ufimtev did was mathematically formalized the behaviors of waves on surfaces. If his work was related to radar and/or aviation, the Soviet military would have take it. Instead, his work was considered to be of no military value and he was allowed to published. Even if the US used his work, that still does not mean he can be credited with being the 'father of stealth'. That credit belongs to US.

This has been out there for quiet some time.. Has been clearly a mock up.. US doesn't export F117 to china .. Just a wet dream of chinese fan bois

Yes it was Soviet who invented the formula of Radar reflecting shape.

talking of wet dreams how is Tejas, Sitara, HTT-40, Kaveri, Arjun and progress of other ingenious projects going?

I mean the Ho 229 from The third Reich was the first stealth craft albeit unintentionally

Debunked even by Ufimtsev himself. When he found out what Lockheed did, he was not surprised at how creative Lockheed's engineers were.

Debunked.

The correct phrase is 'low radar observable'. In order to be LO, the body has to be deliberately designed that way. Not by accident or by guess work. The F-117 was the world's first LO aircraft. No one else can claim credit.

 

[Thorough Pro]

The concept of stealth geometry did come from a Russian scientist, no?

No, it was not. All Ufimtsev did was mathematically formalized behaviors of waves on contact with surfaces. He did not believe there was any military value and the Soviet government agreed.

Nah.. I mentioned no such thing. It is your insecurity that pushes you to come out and slander me like a child, because you have nothing else to say. We were discussing the image, which has been out there for a long time... stick to the topic.

Does it really matter, who was the inventor.. Fact remains US defense establishment has been one of the biggest inventors and innovators in world history.. Not sure what does it help going back to history that way to somehow claim a moral high ground for what. The US defense establishment is miles ahead of anything else out there and that rubbed off on their economy and start up culture, which remains one of the main driving force of the world economy still

Sir I was just messing around , that's why I wrote unintentionally
