Not the most advanced craft to fly off a carrier.

Sit up higher in your chair so reality doesn’t fly so far over your tinfoil dunce cap.

As a famous aero genius I know once said, aspect ratios are extremist, they work best at both ends.
The X-47B is IMHO esentially a Blended Wing Body.
Low Aspect Ratio center section, and stub High Aspect Ratio Wings.
Notice the center section might be flying off of Vortex Lift @ a High AOA on this approach and the outer-wings have split flaps killing lift...
Brilliant, Absolutely Brilliant...
