Along with the aerodynamic lift and propulsion cloak.
The future is super.
Might be a little stiff though.
Some others, mostly intended for military vehicles, aim to match surface IR emissions to the background.
Using metamaterials -- which need to be printed or, even worse, made with lithography techniques -- adds unnecessary cost and vastly increases complexity.
If metamaterials can alleviate any of that to some degree, they could make a form of invisibility cloak covering large objects practical.
