Best Answer

Stealth aircraft are made so they don't show up on radar very well, or at all. This is important if you're going out to blow something up and don't want to be seen.

Commercial aircraft could not be stealth aircraft because you really need to be able to see one on radar. Air Traffic Control uses radar to detect aircraft in its area, other planes use radar to detect you in the sky...having a commercial plane that couldn't be seen on radar would be very bad.

What is the difference between military aircraft and civil aircraft?

Military aircraft are designed to destroy the enemy's military aircraft and (sometimes) their civil aircraft. They also preform bombing tasks as well as a few non-combat tasks. Civil aircraft are mainly transports and crop sprayers that don't do much fighting. Military aircraft are designed to fulfill a multitude of roles that are specified by the Armed forces that will be using these aircraft. These roles include Air attack as well as air support and defence of other military assets. Transport and surveillence are also key roles that military aircraft fulfill. Civil aircraft are designed to perform commercial transport as well as personal use and sports roles. Civil aircraft have no need for stealth or combat survivability the way military Military aircraft do.
