I started this thread to get some to consider going stealth.

We used to fly T-33's as target aircraft and they were very hard to
'skin paint'. To increase the size of the return, we would hang a
'Luneberg Lens' underneath the fuselage to make the radar return the
size of a B-47 'primary radar' return.

I think it would be an interesting project to make a GA stealth bird

I would think that just as Stealth technology has advanced over the years,
that so to has radar technology advanced. So, where in the past radar could
get a return from something size "X" now it should be able to capture and
enhance the same return from something much smaller.

Of course as greedy American corporations keep out-sourcing engineering jobs
to India and China we can soon expect those countries to start making
significant gains in military technology at our expense.
