Approved Discussion on Hypersonic Aircraft
#14
The RCS of the aircraft would be obviously not the greatest or as extreme as for example the F-22 Raptor; however shape does not matter nearly as much as during the 1980s when the initial design phases of stealth aircraft were being sent out; with materials being able to take up a lot more slack now and a lot more cost effectively.

So all stealth aircraft have major heat signatures, that is why the Russians are able to take pictures of the F-22 Raptor over Syria, however the speed of the aircraft at near Hypersonic velocities make infrared tracking much more difficult without other methods of direct detection. Though even to handle the speeds of hypersonic velocity, heat absorption materials would be implemented, with cooling tubes focused on the front of the aircraft connected to the same cooling system that the Engines operate would help slightly with the heat signature. Another implementation is to cool the exhaust gas of the engines, which will great help with rear-on infrared detection.

You can find a more extensive list of stuff that's happened in role play here...if people bothered to add it.
