So today pictures surfaced of an aircraft spotted over and parked at the secretive Tonopah Airport by Michał Rokita in October 2023 and we are not sure what this is but the Aviationist did post about it here.

This is a plane and has “discernible means of propulsion” however we can’t see that in the photo and being a stealth jet it will mix cold air with it’s hot engine air so that it does not sow up on infrared cameras.
On top of that another poster noted NASA has an article on their website here-
https://www.nasa.gov/general/silent-and-efficient-supersonic-bi-directional-flying-wing/
That proposes an aircraft that can rotate 90 degrees to be efficient and silent in bot subsonic and supersonic flight and the Nimitz object did rotate. What does everyone think?
