It probably wears Addis tracksuits.

How do you control air flow if nothing exterior can be manipulated ?
Air jets manipulate the pressure and leading edge vortices on the top of the wings. Do you even Bernoulli bruh?

I'm guessing it's got alot of tiny thrusters to maneuver it.
That would be my guess as well, but it begs the question... why?
Thrusters would have a limited amount of control inputs because you're now using a fuel to control the aircraft. Finite control inputs would be a non-starter for most pilots. Who wants a MCWS warning that they're low on the ability to control their vessel?
Also, we have stealth aircraft with external moving parts already. The big question to me is what is the benefit of NOT having external moving parts? Efficiency through reduced parasitic drag?
Probably stating the obvious here, but I'm guessing there is something at play bigger than my dumbed down understanding of how airplanes fly.
Edit: Forgot we've been using nitrogen thrusters on spacecraft since the 60's. So it's been done. Just doesn't seem practical for an atmospheric vessel.

Some fun guesses are it can possibly change airfoil shape, like a skin over some sort of frame that can warp. That in combination with an ability to quickly actuate its center of gravity internally.
Im taking compressible fluid flow this semester. I could ask my prof what he thinks.

I remember about 20-25 years ago, the Auburn Aerospace Engineering department was looking at piezo-electric control of the flight surfaces, basically changing the airfoil shape to optimize flow without using separate control surfaces like flaps.
At least that's how I remember reading it....
Adding energy to the flow

Russian AI named Rasputin and wears Adidas tracksuits sounds very right.

Damn I should have stayed in the engineering school there.

got my degree there in the 80s so this was after my time...

Guy I knew worked on one of those black triangles. Said the engineers mocked the design and called it the flying dorito. Designers, engineers, and bean counters don't get along.

If you don’t move the surfaces in any way
How does the air flow around it change??

Many people are being misled.
This type of vehicle is able to manipulate local gravity fields.

Which episode was this?

Couldn’t you divert airflow from the main engine? My guess would be pull a small amount of air from main engine to say the tip of the wings in the up or down direction and you can essentially move the jet that way. Left and right up and down at the tail… you get the idea.
