Clue: This aircraft was one of the first of it's kind.
A quantum leap in aerodynamics and a marvel of the future for it's time.

Weird, but a remarkable design.
Any ideas?

Yes.
The Boeing Model 450 B-47 Stratojet was a long-range, six-engine, jet-powered strategic bomber designed to fly at high subsonic speeds and at high altitudes to avoid enemy interception. The B-47's mission was primarily to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union. With its engines carried in pods under the swept wing, the B-47 was a major innovation in post-World War II combat jet design, and helped lead to modern jet airliners.
The B-47 entered service with the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1951. It never saw combat as a bomber, but was a mainstay of SAC's bomber strength during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and remained in use as a bomber until 1965. It was also adapted to a number of other missions, including photo reconnaissance, electronic intelligence and weather reconnaissance, remaining in service as a reconnaissance platform until 1969 and as a testbed until 1977.

US still flies B-52s which are almost 60 years old. B-2 is a technological leap no doubt. But is it worth it in presence of an old bomber which is still very capbable?

Hawker Hunter F.Mk.59, No.29 Squadron. Habbaniya AB, Al Quwwat al-Jawwiya al-Iraqiya (Iraqi Air Force, القوات الجوية العراقية), 7 June 1967.
Following the successful interception of the third Israeli air raid on H-3 airfield, on the morning of 7 June 1967, the IrAF Hunter “570” was decorated with two kill markings for two Israeli fighters a Mirage and a Vautour shot down by the Pakistani pilot Flt.Lt. Saif-ul-Azam.
Somewhat unusually, the kill markings together with appropriate inscription about Azam's achievements have been applied on the right side of front fuselage, bellow the cockpit. The aircraft continued to serve with the IrAF well into the 1970s, when it has had the nose and fin painted in red, and was flown by a display team of the IrAF Flying Leaders School. It was retired from service in the late 1980s, at Habbaniyah AB, but its airframe still exists at the dump of that airfield.
