ABSTRACT:
An aircraft decoy is made by assembling metal or plastic pipe or tubing into tubing fittings to form the shape of an actual aircraft. The tubing is marked with location identification markings. The decoy thus constructed is easily disassembled, stored, transported, or reassembled. The aircraft decoy is covered with an open weave fabric to minimize air resistance so that high winds will not move the decoy on the ground. The fabric is coated with paint to mimic not only the optical characteristics or signature of the actual aircraft, but also the infrared and radar signature of the actual aircraft. Metal particles can be added to paint to increase the infrared and radar signatures.
