While there are several noticeable external and presumably internal differences among variants, all Longswords share a common overall architecture. The craft features a wide, manta ray-like design with a rear-facing boom apparatus protruding from the center of the fuselage, similar to that of the [[B-65 Shortsword]] bomber. The exhaust ports for the Longsword's twin fusion engines<ref name="enc"/> are also visible at the rear of the fuselage. | While there are several noticeable external and presumably internal differences among variants, all Longswords share a common overall architecture.
