According to a recent post on this forum, the "RQ-180" designation cited for the unmanned Northrop Grumman P-ISR flying wing in the December 2013 Aviation Week and Space Technology article about this aircraft originated in a single article resulting in a background briefing to AW&ST's then-Washington correspondent back in 2010. Has there been subtle hint about where the number 180 in "RQ-180" came from? I would not be surprised if the true designation of the Northrop Grumman P-ISR flying wing informally called "RQ-180" turns out to be RQ-29 because the AW&ST article from December 2013 neve cited any sources to back up its assertion about "RQ-180" being the designation for the unmanned Northrop Grumman P-ISR flying wing.
