how do stealth a/c show up on friendly radar?
I have wondered this for many years, but how does something like the B2 show up on ATC radar? Do they have a transponder?

Don't you guess have a reflector you can hang out there too? I thought at least the old f-117 do, but don't quote me on that.

There is also a button to turn off stealth mode.

I have one in my Cessna, It's labeled standby :p

Just look for the "bird sized radar cross section" that has a groundspeed of 600 knots.
|
F-117 has RCS enhancers (Radar Cross Section) and use a transponder like all other aircraft. Radar 'reflectors' is a good analogy.

The stealthy birds have to be able to unstealth for operations in civilian airspace...invisible airplanes wouldn't mix well with airliners in RVSM.
