Finally, LM's MQ-XX design candidate is revealed; BWB type wing-fuselage design with one engine can be noticed. Asymmetric layout of aerial re-fuel tank can be specified.
At the nose, several sensors are located for (possibly) navigation, simple surveillance, or situation awareness while some antennas are located under the fuselage, and fuel tank is located beside of it.
Landing gears are well designed to secure space for additional payload on the wing, however, attachment of additional payload is uncertain. Inlet duct are not severely distorted, usual for stealth aircraft with loss of engine efficiency, to obtain better cruise efficiency with small loss of duct.
Compare to Boeing's design, it looks lack of canted VT and huge fuselage. It looks similar to the company's previous RQ-170 while Boeing made it looks like Tacit Blue (Although Tacit Blue was from NG)
