lol........i meant simple in WORDS

Lets have the F-22 as well. Simple, right?

the engines are still made out of metal, so it's detectable. Just not as easily detectable as most other aircraft.

...lower wing panel covers and the brass screws all throughout the wing skins and ...

OK OK geez...........just pitching ideas.

It wasn't that the Mosquito was undetectable. It's that it was so fast that by the time they DID detect it the Luftwaffe didn't have time to intercept it.

Ahh here is a pilot entering an invisible plane now...

Exactly,the radar of the time was ineffective against the Mossie,mostly do to speed.

It did have a smaller radar signature, but not invisible. Impossible to fail and so.....

Nope, it did not have a smaller signature. That is pure, unbridled, myth.

I KNOW for a fact that there was one plane during WWII that had a reduced radar signature, can anyone fill me in?

How do you know there was a plane with a reduced radar signature and not know the plane?

Well it WAS a flying wing, but it was a single wing aircraft...

:aok I'm going with Karnak because I was actually under the impresion that it gave a fairly large signature.

So far as I know it was just a normal one for an aircraft its size. It is a long standing myth that it was hard to see on radar. I believe the British thought it might be so in WWII but in post war exercises where RAF officers watched German radar operators track a staged incoming raid they had no problem tracking the Mosquitoes.
-
Also, it was such a successful night fighter because the pilots ate a lot of carrots

"Primarily designed as a fighting plane?"
That's some serious Hubris, right there.

Possibly the Go 229.

THERE, thats it..... Thanks bronk. Might not be the same plane unless you hit "G" instead of "H" (I thought it was a Horton built plane), but looks simmilar.
-
actually it is Ho 229.
(wasnt it started by the horton brothers then shifted to Gotha due to lack of manufacturing tools for mass production? guess i could search....)

One might get the idea of the Mossie being invisible to radar due to the way it was used operationally. Because of its high speed the Mossie besides medium altitude mission used in low altitude operations so that they could penetrate enemy air space without being picked up on radar. Two examples would be the Ameins Prison Raid and the Gestapo Headquarters Raid in Copenhagen.
