It consists of glass fibers with a metal core.

The Central Design Bureau for Special Radio Materials (TsKB RM), part of Rostec, has developed a new stealth material that absorbs up to 95% of the electromagnetic radiation of radars and thereby makes the aircraft practically “invisible”. The material is fiberglass with thin threads with a metal core.

Rostec has developed a unique material to make aircraft “invisible”

“ The problem of creating a structural radar-absorbing material has long been a problem in the modern military aircraft industry. Existing types of aircraft stealth coatings need to be regularly restored, and fiberglass with a reduced reflection coefficient does not require maintenance. Our prototypes have already successfully passed the required factory tests ,” said Aleksey Dymovskikh, General Director of the Central Design Bureau of the Republic of Moldova.
