If we take two pyramids of different sizes and put them under radar bombardment, both will have statistically similar EM radiation signatures, only their intensities differs with the physically larger one producing the higher intensity.Where is Martian and his "one piece canopy is imperative for stealth" rants? I'd love to see him explain this one
Other then that, it looks good.
Now...If we begins to smooth/round out the larger pyramid's sharp edges and points, we will have a progressively declining RCS.
If we continue to work on the larger pyramid's surface flaws, perhaps even introducing slight curvatures on its sides to induce surface wave behaviors, while keeping the general pyramid shape, it is possible that we can match the smaller pyramid's RCS. Or even lower. Keep in mind that the B-2 is electromagnetically as small as a bird at most operational radar detection distance, so we know this method works.
Let us assume that for now, this latest from China looks like it copied most of the F-22's general shaping arrangement, and probably would have a similar RCS signature. The question then is intensity, as in its physical dimensions and assorted surface 'roughness' that will contribute to a section's reflective power.
What our man will do is to refer back to what I tried to teach him a long time ago about the concept of threshold, which he seems to be incapable of digesting.
