34.Blue Digi-Camo
The remarkable resemblance between Russia's Su-57 and the United States' The F-16 of the Air Force offers an interesting research in military aircraft design and camouflage strategies. These two advanced fighters from different countries have an interesting visual connection as both aircraft use complex computerised camouflage patterns in several tones of blue. Although at first look they seem similar, each aircraft's digital camouflage pattern has been painstakingly created to reflect their different military design philosophies and serve particular tactical uses. Known as "digi-camo," the blue digital camouflage pattern marks a current approach to aircraft concealment, straying from conventional camouflage techniques to embrace a more contemporary aesthetic that also serves a useful use. Applying these intricate geometric designs shows the development of aircraft painting methods by combining military usefulness with artistic ability. These two fighters show how modern military aviation has embraced similar solutions to visibility problems, so resulting in a remarkable convergence of form and function that makes them appear more alike than their underlying technologies might suggest, despite their different origins and capabilities.
