F-51 griffin
A semesters work on my senior design project produced this model. I will give one clue, its unmanned. If anyone comments with the mission it was designed for and its design mach number, I will upload the product of the second semester, a more detailed model with sub assemblies for the internal weapons bays and avionics, fuel tanks, structure and basic engine volume:)

Ha! a strong first guess!
I was thinking the X-47, but this one has vertical stabs and a different wing shape. Is it the same role, stealth bomber UAV with aircraft carrier takeoff and in-flight refueling capability?
Good guess. We actually designed it as a counterpart to the F-22. Because the F-22 production lines are closed, each plane becomes that more valuable. Our pitch for this plane was that it would be "force multiplier" for the F-22, designed to Super cruise with the F-22, carrying a payload in internal bays. The F-22 Pilot, acting as the "man in the loop", would deploy the weapons, selecting targets using the F-22's sensor package, all while maintaining stealth. 10,000 pound payload with internal bays big enough to carry GBU-15's, Harpoons or a lot of AIM-120's.
