Nano paint helps stealth aircraft

A study at the University of Michigan found that nanoparticles made from carbon can help the aircraft become "invisible" to radar tracking.

The F-117 is a "stealth"

According to TechnologyReview , research at the University of Michigan (NYSE) initially succeeded in creating a nanoparticle that, when covered with aircraft surfaces, could make these iron birds difficult to recognize in the shadows. night, but most especially the ability to absorb and eliminate the entire radar emitted. This way, according to the study, the aircraft will almost invisible to the radar system.

Prof. L. Jay Guo at the University of Michigan, in a nutshell, said that the nanoparticles in this study will cast an absolute black shadow on the surface of the object, so it will be difficult to see. Visually see the objects above under a dark background (for example, when it is dark).

According to the professor, this type of carbon nanotube has just been tested, making everything "flat" and "black" before the system of identification, observation.

The team also confirmed that the new nanotube technology has the ability to not reflect as well as scatter light.
