About This Quiz

A Stealth plane is a military aircraft designed to avoid detection of invasion by the enemy by engaging technologies that reduce infrared, audio, reflection of radar etc.

2.

The following are modern examples of stealth planes except
- F-35 Lightning II
- F-22 Raptor
- B-2 Spirit
- F-40 Fighter
Correct Answer

A. F-40 Fighter

Explanation

The F-40 Fighter is not a modern example of a stealth plane. The F-35 Lightning II, F-22 Raptor, and B-2 Spirit are all well-known modern stealth planes used by various military forces around the world.

Modern stealth planes have been produced and flown by the following countries except
- Russia
- China
- United States
- United Kingdom
Correct Answer

A. United Kingdom

Explanation

Modern stealth planes have been produced and flown by Russia, China, and the United States. The United Kingdom, however, has not produced or flown any modern stealth planes. This means that the correct answer is the United Kingdom.

4.

"The Hopeless Diamond" design of stealth planes was produced by
- Lockheed Skunk Works
- Hope Diamond
- Denys Overholser
- Petr Ufimtsev
Correct Answer

A. Lockheed Skunk Works

Explanation

The correct answer is Lockheed Skunk Works. Lockheed Skunk Works is a highly secretive division of Lockheed Martin, a renowned aerospace company. Skunk Works is known for its innovative and advanced aircraft designs, including the development of stealth planes. The "Hopeless Diamond" design refers to the development of the F-117 Nighthawk, the world's first operational stealth aircraft, which was produced by Lockheed Skunk Works.

5.

The best stealth planes have the following features except
- Reduced thermal emission
- Reduced radar detection
- Reduced infrared detection
- Reduced size
Correct Answer

A. Reduced size

Explanation

The best stealth planes are designed to minimize their detectability by enemy radar, infrared sensors, and thermal emissions. These features make them difficult to detect and track by enemy defense systems. However, reduced size is not necessarily a feature of the best stealth planes. While smaller size can offer advantages in terms of maneuverability and agility, it is not a defining characteristic of stealth technology. Stealth planes can come in various sizes depending on their intended purpose and design requirements.

United states flew its first stealth plane in
- 1995
- 1977
- 1980
- 1985
Correct Answer

A. 1977

Explanation

The correct answer is 1977. In 1977, the United States flew its first stealth plane. This marked a significant milestone in aviation technology, as stealth aircraft are designed to have low radar and infrared signatures, making them difficult to detect by enemy radar systems. The development and deployment of stealth technology has had a major impact on military operations, allowing for more effective and covert missions.

7.

Stealth Planes have the following limitations except
- High cost of operation
- Reduced pay load
- Electromagnetic emissions
- Reduced visibility
Correct Answer

A. Reduced visibility

Explanation

Stealth planes have various limitations, including high cost of operation, reduced payload, and electromagnetic emissions. However, one limitation they do not have is reduced visibility. Stealth planes are designed to have low visibility to radar and other detection systems, making them difficult to detect and track. This is achieved through the use of special materials and shapes that minimize radar reflections. Therefore, reduced visibility is not a limitation but rather a key feature of stealth planes.

8.

Stealth technology was pioneered by
- Russians
- Germans
- Americans
- Koreans
Correct Answer

A. Germans

Explanation

During World War II, the Germans developed and utilized stealth technology in their aircraft. The most notable example is the Horten Ho 229, also known as the "Gotha Go 229," which was a flying wing aircraft designed by the German brothers Reimar and Walter Horten. This aircraft had a unique shape and was constructed using radar-absorbing materials, allowing it to evade detection by enemy radar. The development of stealth technology by the Germans during this time laid the foundation for future advancements in stealth technology by other countries.

Russia first flew a modern stealth aircraft in
- 2003
- 2007
- 2006
- 2010
Correct Answer

A. 2010

Explanation

Russia first flew a modern stealth aircraft in 2010. This means that it was in 2010 when Russia successfully tested and flew a stealth aircraft that incorporated advanced technologies to reduce its radar signature and make it difficult to detect by enemy radar systems. Prior to this, Russia had not developed and flown a modern stealth aircraft.
