Only the rays that hit perpendicularly will reflect to the source, and thus will show up on the radar map as an object (in this case, a plane)In designing the Stealth Bomber, they have reduced the number of such perpendicular planes as much as possible. 1. The edge of the wings are in an angle towards back. There are perpendicular planes, but they won't reflect in the SAME direction as the radar source.2. The windscreens are tilted back3. The frames of the windscreens are saw toothed (this only reduces the reflections, but not eliminate it, because there are small points at each saw tooth)4. The back wall of the cockpit is tilted backThese things have reduced the detection range to 6km from 600km.</blockquote>
