Until you realize that a change in radar frequencies totally negates the "radar-trapping" properties, this sounds like a 'Wunderwaffe' doesn't it?

However, you can bet your bottom (tax) dollar that billions are going to be spent on perfecting this perfect cloaking device.

COL Ted Mc - Well heck if we're going that route....The new 260MPH Bugatti, let's go big or go home!!! They tried this back in the 80's I believe with non-metallic flat paint that did not reflect back for the radar to work and also a plow looking device that absorbed the radar waves but was a huge wind dam and killed top speeds, not to mention it looked pretty funny! BTW the reason I said Porsche was because they mounted that plow thing on a Porsche....Must have stuck!

Alan K. - Mr. Korb; Ettore Bugatti once responded to the complaints that the brakes on his racing cars were too weak with "Qualsiasi pazzo può fare una macchina andare lento." ("Any fool can make a car go slow.").
