There actually is. The geometry helps absorbed radar. When they radio frequency hits an object at can get reflected, and when it does, the radar can receive the reflected signal and calculate where and how fast the object is. The geometry acts like a bunch of wires, absorbing the radio frequency to a local ground, greatly reducing the reflection to where the radar has a much harder time seeing it.
