Lockheed Martin's F-22 (pictured) is so stealthy that it appears like the size of a bumblebee on a radar screen, but the polymer skin that shields jets is fragile and eventually peels away
* The spray-on ceramic allows engineers to quickly apply the stealthy skin without sacrificing designs that hurt the jet's speed and performance
* The skin is 'harder than sand' when it sets and withstands harsh conditions
* It is applied as a liquid and becomes hard when exposed to ambient air
* The new coating can also withstand temperatures over 3,000F
A new spray-on ceramic claims to be 'harder than sand' and provide more coverage for stealth jets and bombers.
A team at North Carolina University designed the material to address limitations of current polymer skins that peel off craft, revealing the plane to enemy radar scans.
The innovation is still in early stages, but lab testing showed the new ceramic material can also absorb more than 90 percent of the energy from radar - current materials only absorb up to 80 percent.

Can't they put that paint on that demonic face of Pelosi so we don't have to look at that witch? :))
I remember when the comment section of this blog was fantastic. One of the reasons I liked to come her was to read well read intelligent commenters having debates . This page is being flooded with idiots now
