Stealth aircraft are not invisible but actually rely on managing mathematical probability
Stealth technology is a game of odds where engineers manipulate geometry and materials to minimize radar reflections, though thermal signatures remain a persistent physical challenge for even the most advanced aircraft.
Stealth aircraft like the F-35 do not possess a magical cloak of invisibility. Instead, they rely on 'probability management' by using jagged geometric angles and radar-absorbing materials to reduce their radar cross-section. This makes them significantly harder to track, but never truly impossible to see.
