if your within eyeball range, its not a Hudini ship. [sight or sound]
Id love to see some big advancements in copters though,
we need one as armored as our best tank but as nimble as a bumblebee
[which also by the physics should not be able to fly].
Let them be able to fly in low and slow and take all the small to med arms fire they want to toss as it and not even need to bat and eye. Just sit there n let em use up ammo, then fire a rocket up their..............

No, it won't disappear but if you can cut the minimum detection distance in half its a lot easier to go un-noticed.
As for your 'airborne tank' ... the Apache does have some strategically placed armour and I think its resistant to most small arms fire (not impervious like a tank, but able to take a few hits without issue), with some areas resistant to light AAA. Built in redundancies increase its survivability in case important systems take damage. Not exactly sure how nimble it is, but nimble enough to fly down a river valley ... lined with trees. It also has a gun that is linked to the pilots head movement. He looks where he wants to shoot then squeezes off 30mm rounds. That gun is also a much more effective countermeasure to small arms fire than waiting for them to reload.
