Looks like a cross between a B-2 and a U-2.

Why is this posted? Isn't it supposed to be a secret program?

Whatever happened to beautiful aircraft, with good proportions? These stealth things are ugly, and vaguely evil looking.

20 foot wingspan is a little bigger than RC hobbyists airplanes, but not much.

Yep! The uglier, the deadlier, the better.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the B2 is smooth and graceful, and this aircraft is breathtakingly beautiful.
I can easily see that shape at 15 times its present size...

It also stirs memories in me of the old Canadian company, AVRO.

It always has struck me as a headless, robotic bat.
