Israeli Firm Develops 'Stealth Paint' for Aircraft

Shades of Star Trek's Romulan cloaking device: The Israel Air Force may soon be flying under the radar – even when it isn't – thanks to a new “stealth paint” developed with nanotechnology.

The science of the material is, in fact, not so far a stretch from the famed classic American sci-fi television series, in which the cloaking device caused spaceships to become invisible to parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The Israel-based Nanoflight firm has just completed trials on a special paint that can make an aerial vehicle nearly undetectable by radar. It won't make it impossible, but it will certainly make the task infinitely more difficult, due to the qualities of the paint, which makes it appear as if the aircraft is some other object in the surrounding environment.
