Now You See ‘Em, Now You Don’t: Stealth Weapons From Around the World

Not long ago, the U.S. was the only country in the world with aircraft that could stroll the skies without fear of being caught. Not any more. Today, militaries from around the world — including Russia and China — are developing their own stealth arsenals. The American monopoly on near-invisible flight is being eroded.
不久之前,美國是世界上唯一國家,它的飛機可以在天空閒逛而不必擔心被抓。今天不再了,來自世界各地的軍方 - 包括俄羅斯和中國 - 正在開發自己的隱形武器庫,美國在近隱形飛行的壟斷正在被削弱。
Stealth technology makes vehicles sneakier by limiting the signatures that give them away to enemy radar, sensors and ears. To reduce a plane's radar cross section, designers have two basic options: shape an aircraft to cast incoming radar away from its originating source and coat it to absorb radar waves. Smooth curves and angled edges used to redirect radar waves have become the telltale features of stealth design ever since. Aircraft features on stealth planes have been reshaped, or in some cases, hidden inside a plane in order to avoid bulky, reflective features. Engine exhaust is cooled in order to reduce infrared signatures. Designers have also developed an array of coatings and composite materials to help soak up radar waves and dampen heat.

Since the U.S. rolled out its first stealth fighter, the F-117 Nighthawk, stealth technology has evolved and been adapted for everything from helicopters to drones and even ships. It helped American forces take out Osama bin Laden and level Iraq. The question is how much longer will the U.S. continue to enjoy the advantage of being unseen.
自美國推出其第一架隱形戰鬥機F-117夜鷹,隱形技術已在一切從直升機至無人駕駛飛機及甚至船舶中發展和被適應了。它幫助美國軍隊取出烏薩馬本拉丹和剷平伊拉克。問題是,美國還有多少時間繼續享有被看不見的優勢。
