Alright, with the debate ongoing about Russian stealth design capability, lets examine who all has attempted a stealth program. For aircraft, that is 😀
US-’nuff said.
France-that new UAV, and the Rafale has stealth elements.
UK-that F-35 lookalike that was posted here a while back.
Germany-the Lampyridae interceptor program in the ’80s, as well as a stealthy attack platform not unlike the A-12.
China-I got some images I’ll post later after I get them down to an acceptable size.
Russia-Su-47 has stealth elements, the 1.42 (NOT necessarily the 1.44), and the NOVO-C. Also researched stealth technology such as RAM, which has been applied to the Tu-160, and the Keldysh device.
India-also researched and developed RAM.
Japan-Mitsubishi is designing a stealthy F-15J replacement.
Anyone else I missed?
