How AI can help design your company like a stealth aircraft

Stocktrek Images/Getty Images The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, the first stealth aircraft, had a striking design driven by radar invisibility rather than intimidation. Its flat, triangular surfaces minimized radar detection but caused instability in yaw, pitch, and roll -- the three dimensions of flight control. Most aircraft are designed to be stable, allowing pilots to easily control their movement and return to a steady course after disturbances. Stability is crucial for safety and ease of flight, exemplified by the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, a highly stable trainer aircraft forgiving of pilot error. However, some aircraft prioritize performance, like fighter jets that require high maneuverability, which inherently reduces stability. Traditionally, aircraft design involved a trade-off between stability and performance.
