Yes. It was an initial step in the long development of the F-117. Lockheed even got a design patent on the configuration. My diagram was based on more detailed Lockheed layouts.

The Lockheed “Harvey,” initial concept for a low radar cross section strike platform that eventually became the F-117. This is sometimes known as the "Wobbly Goblin..." its RCS would have been impressively low, but it would have been a terrible airplane. aerospaceprojectsreview.com/…
