Not really, your latency will be based on the time it takes to receive a few wave lengths (a 10MHz signal would be one ten millionth of a second for a single cycle and one millionth for ten). The radio energy would travel at the same speed as a higher frequency signal however. Accuracy lost to latency of a plane traveling at Mach two would be about 0.68mm since Mach two is about 680 meters per second (assuming a 10MHz signal and you could detect with ten wavelengths).

while what you say is true its an exponential relationship. Rather than accomplish what you suggest it would just be easier to fry the stealth planes from ground radar stations pumping out gigawatts.

I'm surprised that F-35 critics have latched onto this DARPA paper written in 1985 that talks about using higher order harmonics to get accuracy out of long wave radar. To them it could be gospel for arguing against any stealth aircraft. http://tinyurl.com/Darpa-longw...

Well the big limitation of long wave radar is its accuracy. Any fighter sent to the area would have to locate the craft visually and use an infra red missile or gun to shoot it down. Note: all infra red guided missiles are short range. This is due to light scattering and IR absorption by co2 in the air that limits the range of the seeker.

Actually very little performance is being traded for stealth these days. The F-22 is just as good as the typhoon at dog fighting.

Long wave radar requires large antennas so it won't find its way into a fighter not to mention a missile which is smaller.

You might add that although a long wave radar can direct fighters to the area where a stealth plane is, the interceptor's radar and missiles won't be able to lock or track it. This is because a long wave radar requires a large antenna(one far to big to stick in a fighter or a missile).

Way to stick it to the man!! +100 coolness points for Wikimedia :)

Anybody else notice event posts getting delayed? Often I find out about post from friends on events after they happen. I would suspect that Facebook's algorithm does this intentionally to try and encourage people to pay to boost a post.

Its funny that google left pro hamas games alone. Imagine left wing bias at google.....

Where does it say NASA approved this engine? And what did they approve it for? Also I don't think this engine is really good for much. The amount of thrust was less than the weight of 4 to 6 milligrams. IF anything the fact that both the experimental engine and control showed thrust seems to indicate a problem with the experiment.

The iPhone comparison is deceptive. The force we are talking about would be less than the weight of 4 to 6 milligrams.
