Hey Bubba! ORAC! Others....

Check out this vehicle that was featured this week in the AvWeek Daily Digest. Need time to recover from vehicle breakdown 300 miles from home and car still FUBAR. So I can't research further.

That sucker looks like it has the combined cycle propulsion that Lockheed touted a few weeks back. Looks like two intakes, and the conventional turbjet/turbofan lup higher than the other intake. Sucker also seems stealthy design.

Gums wonders.....
