I’m wondering if this is a stealth project. It has that look. Being able to build hundreds of stealth drones cheaply would open up a lot of tactical options. And it’s just like Scaled Composites to build a quick and dirty manned version to prove the idea works. Plus, SC is now part of Northrop who hasn’t had a win in a while.

I have one... Since it only has one engine there is no way that it can be safe to fly at night over the mountains! and V-tail planes are not doctor killers. Doctors are v-tail plane killers!
