I was noticing the incredible amount of
duct work on this plane, and the total absence of NACA scoops, maybe the mach 4
has something to do with it. (we don't need no vert. stabs!)

The plane in these
pictures is still officially the Air Vehicle Number 1, a prototype,
onboard the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not
exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public.
It will be
known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed
to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range), super-cruise stealth
fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range.
Awesome!
Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the
F/A-37...LT Kara Wade... go girl!
