? about the math behind stealth

brad2000@gmail.com - 17 Jul 2008 05:05 GMT
I remembering watching a TV show about the creation of Stealth
technology. There was a comment about how the engineers at Northrup
pretty much had figured out how stealth worked mathematically. But,
there was a piece missing.

Apparently, there was a published Russian mathematician about
"unifying" the magnetic & electrical field. Or some such theory that
helped perfect the stealth technology.

I'm trying to tap the wisdom of the group to see if anyone can provide
a reference to this mathematician, his work, and help me research
this.

Thanks.

I don't think there is that much to it. Think of a transmission line -
you ened to terminate the signal so that there is no reflection.
That's where the paint and no corners comes in.Finding the right
materials is the tricky thing.
Can't have been too difficult if the Yanks worked it out now can it?

Well said, kronec!  The Educational System here in the USA is
abominable.  People are constantly admitted for "Multicultural
Equality", an Educational Mafia is primarily concerned with its own
Jobs, Ingenious Imitation replaces Creative Genius, and so on.   While
almost every University in the U.K. has high standards in the
sciences, mathematics, and engineering, the only USA Universities that
even have tolerable standards are: Princeton, Stanford, Chicago, MIT,
CalTech, U. Florida northern campuses, U. Maryland, Johns Hopkins U.,
U Texas Austin, U. California San Diego, U. Missouri Columbia, Rutgers
U., U. North Carolina, and the Military Academies (regarded as a
single entry) including West Point and Annapolis and the Air Force
Academy.  Harvard used to be good but is now dominated by social
science and humanities departments, while U.C. Berkeley is in a
similar difficulty or worse.  I've recently removed U. Virginia and
George Mason U. Virginia from my list of tolerable USA Universities.

Magic has always used smoke and mirrors.
"Stealth technology" is a buzz word for a radar mirror, the math
behind it is this:

  Well, the big piece missing is that they also figured out how
  radar iself work's mathematically. So stealth works's just like
  engineers at Northrup do. It's work fine until some other
  engineers invent GPS, Adaptive  AI, Drones, and laser-guided bombs,

Listen better.  The mathemtaical basis of stealth technology was
derived by Pyotr Ufimtsev, "Metod Kraevykh Voln v Fizicheskoi Teorii
Difraktsii (Method of Boundary Waves in the Theory of Diffraction),
(Moscow: Sov. Radio), 1962.  The 242 page dense mathematical treatise
was publically released by the Soviets without classification.  Denys
Overholser of Lockeed Skunkworks read a DoD translation and went to
his boss, Ben Rich, with an idea.

Some years later Gulf War I had Russian emigree Pyotr Ufimtsev staring
at his TV screen in disbelief shouting "SUKIN SYN!"

See above.

It also works for sound, hence stealthed submarines against sonar.

Hey stoopid Spaceshit, Uncle Al wagers 1500 quatloos/line you cannot
do third grade arithmetic:  Fill in the following (the first one is
mercy humped):

(+1)(+1) = +1
(-1)(+1) = ?
(+1)(-1) = ?
(-1)(-1) = ?

Does it burn, stooopid Spaceshit, does it burn?

On the same stealth subject, could someone comment on what the author
says in this article...

http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Defence_Arms_13/The_Plane_That_Would_Bomb_I
ran.shtml


He says, "An electric current runs from one end of the plane to the
other. This forces radar that hits the plane to skim across the wings
rather than bounce off and send a signal."

Does this sound right?

Unless the plane is a receiving antenna it sounds more like cannabis.

Imagine you are in a darkened chicken coop with a flashlight and
a catapult, trying to hit a flying chicken. You have some success
until the chicken starts to carry a mirror which reflects the walls of
the coop back at you.  You can't see the chicken, instead you see
the walls and ceiling of the chicken coop as you sweep the flashlight
around, searching. That's one stealthy chicken. The stealth's flat
surfaces are mirrors to radar, what you get back is reflected clutter
that you cannot lock onto and recognise as friend, foe or chicken.
