Note the complete lack of them on any stealth planes in evidence. While
adding some aerodynamic advantages, they also blow the stealth

Nothing a structural sine-wave wouldn't cure I'm sure.

The corrugations would be longditudinal.. so no. Lift might be
affected - anyone ever try a corrugated wing, I wonder.
