The RQ-180 being almost as big as the B-21 I wonder if it could do ordinance drop?

RQ-180 doesn’t have a weapon bay

I wonder which countries would give up their very souls to get their hands on one of these?

Why China? The H-20 appears to be a close copy of the B-2 / B-21. Knowing just how much classified information that has likely been leaked from those programs, can expect the Chinese to have incorporated similar technologies into it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The U.S. Army announced today that its next-generation multi-role vertical lift aircraft, the MV-75 Future Long Range Assault Aircraft, will carry the Native American name “Cheyenne II”.

The announcement was made during the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual conference on April 15, 2026, where the MV-75 Mission Design Series was unveiled. The new platform represents a leap forward in technology and capability, combining speed, payload, and survivability in ways never before achieved in a single aircraft.
