This is one of my older designs, which I came up with after watching Yukikaze for WAY too long. XD
The Roc is approximate in it's features to a 5th Generation jetfighter. It boasts Stealth, Differential TVNs, Digital FBW, and Internal Bays.
It's no F-22 clone, though. The variable pitch wingtips (used to trap supersonic shockwaves against the fuselage, and literally *surf* them to fly faster), high Fuel Fraction, and high Thrust/Weight Ratio make the Roc an aircraft build for SPEED --- once reaching Mach 1, it can power-down to 50% thrust or less, and retain velocity while covering vast distances on comparatively little fuel.
It's weapons, electronics, and overall layout are definitely off the beaten path, too.
Although I actually created a 3-view of the Roc already, it wasn't as presentable as this image --- I just butterflied the preliminary rough sketch. Needless to say, this version is better.
Below is the complete technical data for this design;
