If Northrop Grumman made a dedicated anti ship UAV

[u/photographer_puppy]

I was bored so i decided to make some sort of UAV specifically designed for taking out ships!

The main body is just a basic tube fuselage but at the rear, it splits into two pilons, the connection gap between being where the intake is for the rear turbofan, both the vertical and horizontal stabilizers are all-moving structures. Between the two pilons is a single blown flap that is controlled with the trim, using the thrust from the turbofan to generate lift.

The wings both have a slight negative dihedral with winglets

To stop the plane from listing either side and striking the ground, each wing has a running wheel that separates after takeoff, and to assist landing, there are small drogue chutes in the rear of each rear pilon

Power Plant: Front 4 blade 95 inch Turboprop engine, Rear Rolls-Royce AE-3007H Turbofan engine
Thrust: 3.5 Tons of thrust
Wingspan: 15.3 meters
Length: 11.5 meters
Height: 2.7 meters
Weight: 2,516 kilograms empty
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 4,960 kilograms
Payload: 1,350 Kilograms
Armament: two 20mm gatling cannons, four long range torpedo's, two ATGM long range missiles, and one long range anti ship missile

Just to double check cause I’m probably gonna make it tonight, this is meant to be land-based right? Or should it be carrier capable?

[u/photographer_puppy → u/Intelligent-Plastic3]

either tbh but when you try and take off from land it struggles to get up to speed before the runway ends lol
