I'm too lazy to dig out my FAA guidance on runway markings, but the plane seems to be quite a bit shorter than the centerline marking.

Perhaps their approach to stealth is to have very tiny airplanes that are difficult to see on radar. The pilots are probably just trained hamsters.

The curvature on the wing is that of a sub 200 mph aircraft, the air intakes are 1/2 the size they would have to be, and it poo to look at.

Now some odd looking stuff which does work/fly.

On the Scaled Composites website they say on average one of these projects come out the door a year. Incredible, I haven't seen half of them before I did the Google search.
