Introduction
At present the USAF have the B2 Spirit - a large stealth bomber, they are producing a B21 Raider - a medium bomber and they used to have the F117 Nighthawk - light bomber (even though it says F at the beginning). I thought why not create a smaller aircraft than the B21 to fulfill the role that the F117 used to but to actually have the ability to carry air to air ordinance.
Here we have the F/B 31 with both JDAM and METEOR weapons in the integral bay, colour scheme from a F-35 splinter scheme (this is harder to do than my normal 3 tone camos).
Designed to be subsonic but small, cheaper (in comparison to F35 and B21) it can fulfill a number of roles in larger numbers that the alternative aircraft while relying on its stealth shape to avoid interception (maybe).
I designed in drag yaw airbrakes for fun, it matches what the B2 has in that regard.

@RamboJutter
You're welcome po
.
Just a heads up, after playing with your build a second time, I have since edited my review to be more detailed and accurate. Still doesn't diminish your efforts or build quality.
@HariTheSnakk thanks, I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you like it.
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore I wish SP showed how many hours a build took, then the number of saves would make more sense :)
Wonderful, beautifully-designed flying wing.

Engine fan blades are too exposed for frontal stealth though, and the GBUs could use more kick, but overall a beautiful craft.
9.75/10
@RamboJutter 70? holy...
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore nah, the numbers at the end tell me how many saves I made making it I.e. this is build Has taken 70 saves. It just helps me for any future variants by knowing what save this one was upto (plus its called something different on my saves). I save so often due to losing loads of progress in the past with the undo / redo function or accidentally loading something else...
Are the 7.0 implies that it's at that BR?
