Didn't they say the same thing about aircraft as a whole back in WWII?

Old news

Saw an early model of it on display at Edwards AFB two summers ago (looked like a 1:1 scale wind tunnel model, in the pic you can see the landing hook protruding, and you can see the refueling nozzle is a mock-up (fake) and I guessed they were still working on finalizing a place to locate it permanentley.)



... it is relatively old news... you and the misses should get out more, Oak.  :D

That's the Navy's idea.


Personally it trips me out that the thing is tailless.

First thought that crossed my mind when I saw it sitting in the hangar at Edwards, "the Cylons meet the B2".   :rock  :rofl
