If you watch the development of aircraft, there is an evolution towards shorter, thinner, more swept back (delta configuration) wings, as well as a couple experimenting with forward swept wings. I think you nearly nailed that idea in the winds (only thing I am less sure about is, is the ratio between the forward and tail sizes.)
The fuselage deviates from the expected though, with a more submarine like shape (exacerbated by the canards). What you would expect is from a military aircraft in the future, is for the fuselage to be much more aerodynamic and probably even helping generate lift. Stakes and vortex generators would also likely be present to control the flow around the aeroplane via means of coherent vortices.
......That is from an engineering perspective though. Ignoring my strive for aerodynamic perfection (dictated by my job lol), that is still pretty fucking cool.
while i like the canards at the front, the (amateur) aerodynamic in me says putting the 2 main wings that close to each other is asking for trouble.
my dad is an aircraft engineer at Fokker and while they no longer exist (as such). we had allot of discussions about canard's etc.
i liked em better in the "Dogfight" picture when they were being blown up
