[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 17018601, member: 67454"] The materials played a part, but most of the stealth is from the shape. The rear tails angle inward, the fuselage has no sharp corners between any two sections, so the radar can't get a good return. And the inlet spikes shielded the engines, which was good, because spinning compressor fans generate really, really good returns, bad for stealth! The paint, which I thinmkw as labeled "Midnight Indigo Blue," was heavily impregnated with iron "shaving," to further absorb, not reflect, intercepting radar. [/QUOTE]
