Look at the F-117 and at the B-2, now tell me which one is more stealthy when we forget the different airframe size ??
Is smooth stealth better then angular stealth ??
If I look at the current EF and compare it to the EPA all changes are directly pointing at some well thought out stealth meassures. And if you look into the intake …. (if you ever get to look into the intake)
The carnards are angeled because of stealth, but I guess explaining this will be a bit hard.
When 117 was designed, computers were not fast enough to model curved surfaces (This is what I heard). So LM used flat surfaces which were easier to model.
