Question:

Does Aluminum absorb Radio waves?

i need to know if Aluminum absorbs radio waves (just the type that control an RC jet)

Answer:

Aluminum reflects radio waves; it does not absorb them.
Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. If an object is completely encased in a conductor (forming a Faraday cage), the object will be shielded from radio waves. If the aluminum (or another conductor) covers only part of the object, radio waves may still reach it.
