STEALTH TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT: Stealth technology also known as LOT (Low Observability Technology) is a sub-discipline of military electronic countermeasures which covers a range of techniques used with aircraft‚ ships and missiles‚ in order to make them less visible (ideally invisible) to radar‚ infrared and other detection methods. The concept of stealth is not new: being able to operate without giving the enemy knowledge has always been a goal of military technology and techniques. However‚ as the

Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized

major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce aircraft efficiency by increasing weight‚ reduce lift‚ decrease thrust and increase drag. These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force downward in flight. Over the years‚ aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically. Modern day aircraft are aerodynamically less accepting of airfoil

attacker military aircraft. It consists of a single seat and twin engines (Green & Green‚ 2008). The aircraft is also referred to as a stealth attacker. The technology demonstrator dubbed Have Blue was the basis of the F-117. Stealth technology was used to design the aircraft. The Nighthawk’s maiden flight occurred in 1981. In 1983‚ the aircraft eventually achieved the status of initial operating capability. F-117A Nighthawk is one of the most interesting‚ modern attack aircrafts. Skunk Works division

Blanchard (1981) identifies some of the essential elements of the military “Operational Concept” in 1 through 7 below: 1. MISSION DEFINITION - How is the system to be used? What are the mission objectives? How are the objectives to be accomplished? Where will the aircraft be operated? All of these and
