Force_Feedback Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 This tech is the 'plasma stealth' we all have been waiting for, har har! So, even some fat ugly slow airliner, may be invisible to he radar in the near future, probably some evil UCAV with stealth missiles. Actually pretty scary, making radar even less useful. No real research done by me, only the article, I guess there are a lot more constrains and power issues. But if this technology will be made practical, I first see stealth (thermo)nulclear warheads, then UCAVs in all shapes and sizes, and maybe some CIA prison learjet all covered by that stuff to transport some 'terrorists' (the meaning of that word may shift greatly too, indicating a person who is against the US goverment) to some hole somewhere. I know it's not 'omg that's awesome' yet, but in a decade or two it might be (and we won't know about it). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6064620.stm Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:

GGTharos Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 This doesn't look like plasma stealth ... just waveguides. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Force_Feedback Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 This doesn't look like plasma stealth ... just waveguides. I was joking, and if you would actually have read the article, you would have known why. :lol: Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
GGTharos Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I knew you were joking, but some people will take your joke as a summary of the article ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Force_Feedback Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 I knew you were joking, but some people will take your joke as a summary of the article ;) Heh heh. This is why boards are sometimes confusing, lack of face expression and body language. Oh, intonation may play a role too (sarcasm) Well, they better start miniturizing those missiles, otherwise only the Starstreak can be made invisible to the radar :P Oh, they can also made stealth 30mm shells, so you won't know what hit you in your Su-47 ;) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
