Review of experiments conducted to improve unreliable echoes given by gliders on air traffic control radars; typical values are given for echoing areas of various gliders at X and S-bands for different aspects as measured in flight; fitting light weight cluster of corner reflectors into fuselage, produced adequate increase in echoing area; it is concluded that though each type of glider would require its own particular design of corner cluster, method should be generally feasible.
