Well, I don't know enough about the subject to ask any intelligent questions, but I can tell when someone knows their stuff, and you do. I'll be
watching for your posts from now on..

Cool, cool, post! Thank you for the research! During my long hours at work staring a unit control screens my mind has wandered to this exact same
thing. My thought, be it silly, is maybe have a coating actually made to burn. The "painted" on surface could be reapplied when on the ground.
When entering enemy territory the plane could ignite the outer layer and actually "burn" when entering enemy territory. The resulting flame
enveloping the plane could mess up the radar. The burn may also help the problem of overheating by consuming the outside air molecules before
contacting the real skin of the plane. Or better yet have a plane follow a "burning" missile into enemy territory and hide in its off gas. Just a
thought!
P.S if any "government agency" is reading this and thinks its a great idea, HIRE ME! I am bored stiff in my job and want to work in WARM Las
Vegas!!!

thoughts on this?
It may be possible to drive a plasma sphere beyond the optical range by its frequency, the object within can be standard faceted deflection for radar
stealth.
