The radar cross section of the leading edge of a conducting wing‐shaped structure is reduced by replacing part of the structure with a lossless dielectric material. The structure retains its original external shape, thereby ensuring that the aerodynamic properties are not altered by the structural changes needed to reduce the radar cross section.
