Description
This is Marie Elite in Ashley clothes with Wildcat hair. She wants to interact as strongly as she can with electronic freqencies from DC to X band. Looking back from color TV and microwave oven circuits she can see VHF and UHF as L band. Above that she can see airport radars and commercial weather radar into X-band. At some point a much more granular accounting of frequency occured and we changed from megacycles to megahertz. Travelling Wave Tubes (TWT) moved up to communication satellites and into the atmospheric windows at Ku and Ka. The airplane in the back has sufficent antenna space for all these frequencies and power and cooling as well as monitor space for operator consoles. The best way to describe it is it's maximum gross weight was about 108,000 pounds refueled in the air and that is about the same as a DC-9-30 or DC-6 airliner. I met this airpane in 1967 when it was 11 years old at the most and it was already in the boneyard at Davis-Monthan. In this era it had to receive the data from a radar analyze it, compare to known characteristics and set up spot beams to block the entire main beam and side lobes of the emitter and transmit it. The basic r-squared jammer rule allowed less power to overwhelm a beam that had to travel up to the airplane and then echo back follwing a basic r-fourth power rule. When the airplane got close enough to the emitter it's echo signature would be greater than it's jammer beam and it would burn through and appear on the emitter operator's scope. This is for self masking. This airplane would escort strike flights and then standoff giving a more complex rule than given here. It only had a 3.5 g load factor in maneuver which is about half of a fighter or attack aircraft so evasion of SAM firings if they occured was more problematic. Like a reconnaisance aircraft it had no guns, missiles or bombs. It's sole defense for the entire flight was electronic. The ability to reduce radar cross section with skin shaping and radar absorbing material allowed designers to take all this, simplify it, and make it into an image that would look like a Stealth fighter instead of the jammer masks.

love that shirt she have on skull and cross bones. cool image
Excellent Render and interesting plane. The entire stealth concept is very cool and complicated but notice that they are quiet on how it holds up versus our own detection systems.
Great work
there seems to be some kind of stealthy landing gear here! the radar of my eyes has completely failed to detect them... only the tires.... this must be investigated immediately for it's future military implications. EXCELLENT.
Fantastic work.
great modeling both the plane and the lady I love her out fit very stunning and cute at the same time she ready to fly!~
She is very sweet! EXT work!
nice work...
Wonderful work and write up. Have the best day. Diane.
Info, masses off. Great image again, my friend. Like!!! Rob.
Impressive work Dale..........!!!!!
Well done.
Somebody spent hours polishing that baby. I loved it when we took something that actually meant something concrete (Kilocycles) and changed it to something that meant absolutely nothing other than some ones name (Hertz). You have named the war within the war.
Very Cool !! I like the plane too [^__-] Cheers, Roger
I hope she dosent get sucked up the intakes..would be such a pity..
I like the aircraft and the camouflage outfit our young Marie Elite is wearing. One early example of the use of countermeasures: in World War II, Allied bombers dropped chaff, small bits of metal foil, to confuse enemy radar.
Obsviously she is not the testerone girl :) Love this plane !
she obviously does not need a jet to fly.her looks can carry her aloft
Fantastic !!! Great scene. Vote:5++++++++++++++++++ :)
Perfect. 5+!!!
Cool!
Great!
Magnifica obra,excelente trabalho, aplausos (5)
