My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
With military stealth, there is more to it than shape. They also have special paints and coatings that absorb instead of reflect. They have electronic countermeasure, also.

For us, It's pretty much all about shape and that shape presents huge slab sides pretty directly in line with where the radarnormally comes from.

Besides. By the time a stealth bomber is presenting you with a big flat bottom to look at, the bombs have already been released and It's moving by too fast for you to do much about it. Better just duck and cover cuz things are about to get real loud and shaky and hot.

I saw the first tesla “truck” last weekend on a state highway headed the opposite direction from me, I didn’t realize they were actually out on the road yet.

stealth has more to be concerned with than just the angle of a metal plane.
remember those pics of highly magnified polished metal? and how jagged the surface was?

radar beams of the giga-hertz range can easily get into those crevasses and some bounce right back at the source.
