2. Airplanes were first used in the First World War, mainly for reconnaissance but later also as
attack aircrafts, mounting guns and manually dropping small bombs on troops below.
飛機最早在一戰中使用,主要用於偵察,但後來也用作攻擊機,安裝槍支並用手工操作向地面部隊
投擲小型炸彈。
By the Second World War, aerial technology advanced considerably. Larger planes carried large
payloads of explosives, and smaller airplanes were used to try and stop the larger bombers.
二戰時,航空技術長足進步。大型飛機攜帶大量炸藥,小型飛機試圖用來阻止大型轟炸機。
During that time, RADAR technology was developed, allowing militaries to detect and track
aircraft from a great distance.
此期間,發展了雷達技術,使軍隊能夠從遠方偵測和追踪飛機。
In 1991, during the Gulf War, the U.S. unveiled the first stealth airplane – the F-117 Nighthawk
and launched the beginning of the age of the stealth airplane.
1991年 海灣戰爭 期間,美國公佈了第一架隱身飛機 F-117「夜鷹」,開啟了隱身飛機時代。
In this article, we are going to look at some of the most famous stealth planes. Buckle up!

meant to deflect RADAR waves, as well as RADAR-absorbing materials on the
fuselage meant to reduce its RADAR signature even more.

達的材料旨在進一步降低雷達信號。
4. F-117 "Nighthawk" (retired)
F-117「夜鷹」(退役)

payload, but the Iraqi army’s inability to detect them turned
them into the most efficient warplanes at the time.
