L’appareil furtif en forme d’aile volante sera à propulsion hybride. Objectif, obtenir une signature acoustique minimale sur certaines phases de vol. Financé par l’agence de recherche du Pentagone, le XRQ-73, est développé conjointement par Northrop Grumman et sa filiale Scande Composite. Son architecture désormais classique dans la recherche de la furtivité radar s’accompagne d’une recherche
