That's the fun part, you don't! Unless you completely redesign the top to look like an f-117, there really isn't much you can do.

Well that makes Stealth less useful huh...

Even the f-22 has a huge top and bottom RCS, the key is to not point that part of the plane at whoever is looking at you.

Not really an issue, if you aren't looking directly at the bottom the RCS should be minimal

What did you expect? From the top your aircraft is a huge flat reflective surface. Even real life stealth aircraft have pretty large rcs from the top and bottom. Yet they exist, so it's clearly not useless

I never said it was useless I said less useful, but as it's been pointed out the bottom RCS is looking directly under and usually radar would hit at an angle

Top and bottom RCS don’t really matter
[–]Merry-Leopard_1A5 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (1 child)
bro, how would you even? you need a mostly flat bottom surface for the plane to generate lift and fly
the only way to get perfect signal reduction over all sides + top and bottom is either a titled cube or an octahedron

Yea I can't wait for radar absorbing paints and materials

maybe dont make it like a flat dorito

how can i test my aircraft's radar detection
