The Northrop Grumman X-47B is a demonstration unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) designed for carrier-based operations. The project began as part of DARPA's J-UCAS program. The X-47B is a tailless jet-powered flying wing capable of semi-autonomous operation.
Admittedly not the best performer due to yaw wiggle but still manageable. Feel free to try and improve yaw without decreasing "stealthiness".
