STEALTH WARPLANES by Doug Richardson
Aircraft that no radar can detect., that no missile can strike - it sounds like science fiction, but in fact it is a technological fact. This magnificently illustrated book describes the aircraft and the technology behind the most significant developments in aerial warfare since the jet engine and the atomic bomb. It penetrates the cloud of secrecy, misinformation and speculation to provide a detailed survey of the principles of 'stealth' and of the current and future uses of this 'wizard' technology. It describes in detail the current state-of-the-art stealth warplanes - including the F-117A Nighthawk fighter and B-1B an B-2A bombers - and also covers the stealth aircraft on the drawing boards or currently being tested, such as the American F-22A fighter and Joint Strike Fighter, the Europe's Eurofighter 2000 and Gripen, as well as the latest Russian developments in this field. Furthermore, there is a fascinating explanation of the countermeasures evolving to oppose stealth warplanes.
