　　Small series as a child hearing "stealth fighter" when there will be a big on the mystery. I thought: this thing could stealth and other fighters how to play? Simply commit suicide. It came out that, it turned out that things can only be radar stealth, if you met face to face, fighting is also going on. iphone 5 Hello Kitty case

　　But then again came back, capable of evading radar search is a very strategic thing. Radar in war was the first time when the second world war, the British army pioneered the use of the radar early in the war to give the Germans some blow, partly made up for the gap between both air forces. Old Chinese saying is: know your enemy, victorious. After the second world war, which is starting in the 60 's, radar-equipped became the national focus on the object of study.

　　According to unofficial sources, China's nuclear submarines in 2004 to bypass Japan all radar scanning, in the Japan Sea "for a walk". The Japanese break out in a cold sweat! It also caused a stir at the time. Thus the progress achieved in the area of cloaking device. But when it comes to cloaking device, or a United States most advanced, after all, she has been researching stealth aircraft from 1960!

　　Boeing launched a as early as 1962 to 1963, called "silent bird" Boeing 853 stealth aircraft. Although the prototype never completed test flights of the aircraft, but it is by design and production methods, or is being used in the future to build stealth aircraft.

　　Recently, Boeing is complete shows the plane at the time of the research, even the designs are on display. But then again again, according to the American practice, this also shows that the technology now has basically been eliminated, also indicates the United States is now in the cloaking device technology's leading edge.

　　But, as Miyazaki said of the wind: Designer's dream is the sky, rather than war.
