How Does This Thing Fly?

Images of the UK's first prototype stealth surveillance aircraft have been unveiled.

The unmanned vehicle, which has been built by BAE Systems, is known as the Corax, or as the Raven.


There is nothing even vaguely resembling a tail on that craft. Even the B-2 has a few little surfaces to provide some sort of lateral stability.

I would really love to know the performance envelope for this puppy - but then you usually never find out for survellance aircraft. We still don't really know for the SR-71. You have to admit, this is cool looking.
