Fascinating new (to me) stuff here...
"The resulting XRQ-72A has a general planform reminiscent of other Northrop Grumman designs, including that of the B-21 Raider stealth bomber"
You mean "platform"? Nope! It really does have a similar planform, a word I last heard in what, high school drafting/CAD? You mean "B-2" bomber? Nope, I just hadn't heard about it...
Also interesting that it has no landing gear and uses a fuel generator to power electric engines...
