The airframe of the "RQ-180" is almost certainly similar to the B-21 except that its engines are situated next to each other atop the wing center section and there is a narrow bulge below the center section (which carries the ISR payloads). I should point out that the "RQ-180" itself has a shorter wingspan than the 205-foot span conventional flying wing design studied by Northrop Grumman for the Sensorcraft program, even though that design formed the basis of the "RQ-180".
