I came here to say the same thing. Why would you bother going to the trouble of designing a stealthy aircraft if you're going to plop a load of decidedly unstealthy motors on the top of it. Really bizarre decision.

What makes you think they’re unstealthy? I doubt there’s even a tiny bit of metal in them. If they’re made out of Teflon, PVC, and exotic composites, they’ll have barely any radar return.
They’re just propulsors. The motor is inside the airframe.
