So the implication then is that the dead bat thing is legit?
I seem to remember the ‘dead bat’ thing in Ben Rich’s book about the Lockheed Skunkworks, but it’s been a long time since I read it.
I think the shape of the F-117 scattered the soundwaves emitted by the bats. The bats sensed no sound reflection so they flew into the planes. It wasn’t that there was no sound reflected, it’s just that it didn’t reflect straight back to the animal.
Maybe we should submit this one to “Mythbusters”?
