Possible levels of reducing radio wave reflection from an aerodynamic object covered by an absorbing plasma

We estimate the possible levels of reducing backward reflection of radio waves from an aerodynamic object covered by an absorbing plasma created on the object at tropospheric flight altitudes. This effect is analyzed in terms of a model one-dimensional problem of radio wave propagation in inhomogeneous layers of absorbing plasma. 5th Central Testing Institute of the Department of Defense of the Russian Federation, Voronezh, Russia.
