The Raptor has a very clean airframe, which leads to good aerodynamics. Don't know if it's more aerodynamic than the Su-30 or not. As for stealth, I'm not sure what you mean. Stealth isn't something you put on a plane, but a measure of the radar cross section of a plane. The Raptor is an all aspect stealth plane, meaning that it is stealthy (very low radar cross section) from front, sides, and rear.
