Okie well do you mind checking out my newer fighter the X-77 I could use some designing advice @Sunnyskies
@Sh0ckw4v I'm not that serious. I just like talking about that kind of stuff. I mean nothing by it.
Why so serious about this, this post was to have fun and share with others ._. It's not the best plane but still @Sunnyskies
@DynamicAviation Those also employ special paints and radar-absorbent material. And while they aren't as extremely engineered as the F-117, if you pay very close attention to the design, you'll see that they are indeed very angular compared to a non-stealth plane. Most evident in the F-22 with its diamond cross-section radome, the shape of the inlets, and the sawtooth patterns you see all over different parts of the plane. Also, the full stealth capabilities of the F-35 are still being tested, and full detailed results haven't been disclosed or published to the public. But from what I can gather, the F-22 is still a bit stealthier than the F-35.

@Sh0ckw4v
Okay
Thanks!
@LotusEngineering The line break is three underscores (_) in a row with no spaces.
@LotusEngineering ....I'm ok now I'm confused
And@Sh0ckw4v , please don't call me a weasel.
Wow. I will definitely take that into consideration for my current build. Also, how did you get the line break in your comment? @Sunnyskies
Oh ...uh... thank you ^^; @Sunnyskies
This has too many rounded surfaces and external payloads to be a very effective stealth plane. For a low radar profile, you want sharp angular edges, mostly-flat surfaces to deflect waves away from their source instead of back at them, and as few wave-catching external gizmos as you can manage. You also want to carefully engineer your intakes and exhaust, because fans light up radars like the fourth of july, and a wide open nozzle has an obvious heat signature.
All that said, it's not a bad plane. The pitch is a pretty weak, the landing gear should be closer to the center of mass, and the center of mass and center of lift should be tighter, but I was able to fly it well enough, and landing was possible with clever use of the rudder.
