Unless you can make millions, billions, trillions of angled surfaces on a plane, like the water droplets and ice pellets in a cloud, to scatter radio waves, shaping won't work. So the key to reduce RCS is what is called radio absorbing material (ignore the bad English radar absorbing material commonly thrown around, why because radar emits radio like tennis racquet emits tennis balls, so you say hit tennis ball back, you don't say hit tennis racquet back, likewise you say absorb radio, you don't say absorb radar). RAM or radio absorbing material, supposedly invented in the 1960s along with plastic, supposed to be less dense than metal so radio wave can pass through without reflecting back. Then wooden plane vs metal plane, which one has less radio reflection duh.
