Quiz: Stealth Technology Today
The Department of Defense currently operates about 450 F-35 aircraft—the jet that for many personifies supersonic speeds and stealth technology.
Stealth has been around since 1980, and a bit more than 700 warplanes operating around the world have been designed to deliberately and effectively minimize their signature to enemy sensors, particularly radar.
As stealth reduces a plane’s radar cross section minimizing detection or interception, find out what you know about stealth, and the planes that use the technology with this ASME Quiz.
