Excerpts from an academic paper, depicting a flying-wing U(C)AV that features a slight beak nose and an IWB.

The U(C)AV has a length of 2.4 meters and a wingspan of 4.8 meters. The IWB is 0.82 meters long, 0.3 meters wide and 0.3 meters deep.

The IWB is depicted to be carrying 6 missiles. The missiles are separated 0.015 meters horizontally and 0.02 meters vertically.

Wondering if this is a scaled-down simulation model of the GJ-X? Or some other unknown U(C)AV model?

I'm more interested in the potential for the depiction/stacking missiles vertically to better use weapons bay volume.

Good observation. Compared to the IWB specifications of other platforms we've been discussing I would agree on it being a scale-down.. Any idea what purpose it would serve in doing so?

If the H-20 actually proves to be that batwing design, then I’m going to join the USAF just to hopefully get an opportunity to shoot it down.

It’s hideous. At that point just give me the B-2 with folding cope tails design.
