This is AMAZING. When will we see this (if it isn't already in place) on modern fighters?

When you look at the shape of the tiles, they almost appear identical to some of the tiles on the F-22. Perhaps the Raptor employs this technology? Or at least a more primitive derivative? |

| The main limitation of this kind of system is that it only works for a limited amount of time -- the refrigeration of the exterior isn't very efficient, and it dumps a lot of heat on the inner surface of the tile. For aircraft, it has the further complication of being bulky and relatively heavy. |
