    Ive always wondered if Superman (or any flying tights) would show up on radar. Is a person just too small of an object? Do drones show up on radar?

    I guess i could look that last one up pretty easily if i wasn’t drinking my coffee and just scrolling.

    Ironman popped up on radar in his first movie. I guess metal might make the reflective difference. So maybe the perfect stealth plane would be covered in skin.

      I worked in aviation for a few years. I’ve heard tons of stories about birds showing up on radar. A human size object would absolutely show up.

        I was thinking about that too. But i wasn’t sure if it was a movie thing or not. Thanks.
