Hi.
I'm going where no one in the homebuilder world has ever gone before: Stealth
I have planned a side project, a Stealth UAV.
I did a little research on the radar properties of materials and found, from least to most detectable, the following materials:
Honeycomb Carbon Fiber - Wood - Aluminum - Steel
Based on that data, I chose wood because it has the best stealthiness/cost ratio.
And electricity is the likely propulsion candidate because of little/no thermal signature
Now all i need is any old,venerable stealth aircraft design for the outer planform.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
P.S: If i succeed in catching the military's attention, i might have more cash than necessary for my personal GA needs
