water vapor at less than plasma temperatures looks like contrails… at plasma temperatures it looks like the shuttle coming back through re-entry… that looks like a shooting star. Nasa does not post images because the image of the one that blew up looks much like ones coming home safely. How that is not going to be visible hundreds of miles away, would be a good start to explaining something that practical science shows to be false.

There is way to get rid of contrails and remove the sonic boom of the wing tips, by forcing the air to move through channels then having it drop off a razor sharp edge into air moving off the same way so that it creates a flat contrails that is not visible but the heating of the water vapor into plasma is going to create a huge bright white area in the sky (red at sunrise or sunset) and kinda defeat the purpose of stealth…

When air moves around a lift body you are getting pressure which disturbs the air, you can get rid of that by channeling the air like using a sword instead of baseball bat but once you break mach one, there is what amounts to fuel air denotation that follows you the faster you fly through the air the faster the air is deflected off the surface of the craft. I blew out every window in withca tall falls, TX and blew apart a brick building because I through I knew how much space I had to fly in and how fast the top speed of the air craft was. I had to pay for all the windows and rebuilding the book store. The base commander helped out since he made the call but that town was over seven miles away from where I took off pretty much straight up. If I have gone move level I would likely killed someone. As it was it simply craved a swath of destruction through the town while everyone was a church. If a single person had died I would have lost my wings, as it was I learned a valuable lesson and a whole town got new windows. Know what the air actually does around your craft and never assume the specs are correct on the aircraft. The DOD and NASA require the speed to listed on that aircraft instead of mach one but mach seven. I found out the hard way the cockpit was fused by metal freeze to weather striping due to plasma retry speeds. The rescue crew had to use a circular saw to cut through the lexan canopy and I had welt where the pressure cuffs were on my wrists and ankles. I was standing around after the landing being yelled at when I passed out as the blood rushed to my head. Plasma is nothing to mess around with, learn what it actually does to the surface of an aircraft before you get some pilot killed.
