What kinda Rennels numbers would I get? Is this a new

Look up Luneberg Lens via Google.
We hung them on T-33 target aircraft in exercies to
give a radar
return the size of a B-47.
You could make one out of foam and Rennels (sp) Wrap
and put inside
your plastic bird and get a much larger radar return
for just a few
ounces for the lens.
These are passive devices and no power is required.

Modern gliders are small and made of materials that
show up poorly on
radar.
Are we basically flying stealth aircraft?
