In [[Legion Of Lawndale Heroes]], the L1 Fighter Bomber is an aircraft designed by the [[
It is VTOL and supersonic capable, and is constructed of radar transparent materials with internal RF reflectors configured to absorb or scatter RF energy in a way that will not return them to their source, and weaken the signal to minimise the radar visibility where a return can not be avoided.
It has an external war load of
The radar system is integrated into all external faces of the airframe (with the exception of transparent parts such as cockpit and visual/IR cameras and laser balls) turning the skin into a phased antenna for both passive and active modes, giving the aircraft a sensor traverse of 360 degrees and a sensor elevation of 90 degrees at all headings.
One gripe is that while the power plant is more efficient in
Another gripe is that the external configuration severely compromises stealth because the engine is exposed and can't be hidden at any angle except for 4:30 to 7:30, the angles concealed by the air intake and chassis, but again, turning vertical and retracting the power plant during takeoff restores radar stealth.
