> Aside from the sheer size of the new aircraft, which we will address in a moment, the most striking thing about it is its planform and tailless configuration. > Maybe the aircraft’s most unusual feature is its air intake arrangement. It appears to have an air intake on top of the fuselage, as well as twin intakes on either side of the lower fuselage. The computing power required for coordinating flight control surfaces and power would be intriguing to look into. At this point ancient history, but the F-117 is what introduced me to the concept: "It is aerodynamically unstable in all three aircraft principal axes and thus requires constant flight corrections via a fly-by-wire (FBW) flight system to maintain controlled flight" [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F117 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F117
