The general design of a stealth aircraft is always aimed at reducing radar and thermal detection. It is the designer's top priority to satisfy the following conditions; some of which are listed below, by using their skills, which ultimately decides the success of the aircraft:-
- Reducing thermal emission from thrust
- Reducing radar detection by altering some general configuration (like introducing the split rudder)
- Reducing radar detection when the aircraft opens its weapons bay
- Reducing infra-red and radar detection during adverse weather conditions
