STEALTH TECHNOLOGY BREAKDOWN

▸ RAM (Radar Absorbent Material) coating absorbs 99%+ of radar energy
▸ Aligned edges (wing sweep, vertical tail cant) deflect radar returns away from emitter
▸ Internal weapons bays eliminate radar-reflective external hardpoints
▸ S-shaped intake conceals engine face from frontal radar
▸ Serrated edges on all panels reduce diffraction
▸ Canopy coated with indium tin oxide to reduce cockpit RCS
▸ Result: An F-35B appears ~1,200× smaller on radar than an F-16
