The X-44 MANTA design was based on the F-22. The engine and fuselage would be carried over to the X-44. Major differences included the delta wing shape and tail-less design.

2024年7月22日 · Summary and Key Points: The Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) was a conceptual design aimed at testing full yaw, pitch, and roll control without tailplanes, reducing radar...

2024年7月11日 · The X-44 MANTA was developed from Lockheed’s F-22 Raptor, which had recently won the Advanced Tactical Fighter contract. The F-22 was the world’s first operational fifth-generation fighter and ...

2025年1月25日 · X-44 Manta: A “Tailless F-22?” Based on key aspects of the F-22, the X-44 was engineered to be a “tailless” completely horizontal stealth fighter jet capable of vectoring without needing a tail, vertical stabilizers, or fins of any kind.

x-44 manta代表多轴无尾飞机，是洛克希德·马丁公司标志性的f-22设计的前瞻性派生产品。 根据《 空军杂志》的报道，洛克希德·马丁公司可能设计了多达六种与向空军提供的F-22 Raptor相似的机身。

2022年7月9日 · While it does not have a lot of name recognition with the general public, the X-44 Manta was an F-22-inspired plane that looked very different than anything else put on the drawing board. And yet, it never flew. This expert explains why that never happened: Way back in 1999, Lockheed Martin had a plan to field a […]

2024年11月22日 · X-44 MANTA: The Stealth Fighter That Could Have Changed Aviation History. The F-22 Raptor entered service with the U.S. Air Force as the world’s first fifth-generation platform.

2024年12月8日 · Key Points: The X-44 Manta, a tailless, wedge-shaped stealth fighter concept proposed by Lockheed Martin in 1999, aimed to enhance the F-22 Raptor’s stealth and payload capabilities. -By eliminating conventional tail surfaces and relying on thrust vectoring for maneuverability, the Manta could theoretically improve radar evasion and acrobatic ...

X-44是用一架F-22原型机进行改装的一架飞机，由NASA和美国空军联合提出的，其名称为“多轴无尾飞机”也称MANTA。 该飞机现在只是一架概念机。 X-44 将用一架 F-22 原型机改装，将其水平尾翼和垂直尾翼拆除，机翼换成三角翼，即取消所有的气动控制面，只使用多轴推力矢量系统来提供所有的飞行控制。 X-44 将于 2006 年开始试飞，有可能作为洛克希德.马丁公司提出的 FB-22 战斗轰炸机的试验平台使用。 但这个项目2000年就下马，停留在概念阶段. X-44是用一架F-22原 …

The X-44 MANTA was based on a modified version of the F-22 Raptor’s airframe and was intended to investigate enhanced maneuverability, reduced radar cross-section, and greater fuel efficiency. The aircraft’s design leverages full thrust vectoring for pitch, yaw, and roll control.
