The Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) was an American conceptual aircraft design by Lockheed Martin that has been studied by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. It was intended to test the feasibility of full yaw, pitch and roll …

2024年10月1日 · Looking like a sleeker F-22A Raptor, the X-44 was a delta-shaped plane with no tail. It was meant for extremely low-visibility flight and, had it been built and deployed, it likely would have been...

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1月12日 · Join us as we explore the Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA, a revolutionary concept that aimed to set new standards in military aviation. This video delves into the heart of the X-44 MANTA's...

Designed without a tail and equipped with cutting-edge thrust vectoring technology, the MANTA was set to dominate the skies with agility and stealth. Though it never made it into production, its...

2024年8月7日 · Summary and Key Points: The X-44 MANTA was an experimental aircraft developed by the U.S. Air Force based on the F-22 Raptor, designed without traditional tail surfaces to reduce radar visibility...

2011年7月7日 · The X-44 MANTA is a converted delta-winged F-22 which uses vectored thrust as its sole means of control. The plan is to convert an F-22 so that it uses its thrust...

2022年4月9日 · The X-44 MANTA was always seen as a possible candidate for a future combat warplane so it would also have held on to the F-22's internal weapons bay. Due to the nature of the delta wing and its large surface area and increased internal volume, the MANTA would have carried more internal fuel and thus increased operational ranges when compared to ...

The Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) was a conceptual aircraft design by Lockheed Martin that has been studied by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. It was intended to test the feasibility of full yaw, pitch and roll control without tailplanes (horizontal or vertical).

The Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) is a conceptual fighter based on the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor , with enhanced thrust vectoring. The program was canceled in 2000. The aircraft is controlled solely by thrust vectoring, without rudders, ailerons, or elevators; making it resemble a tail-less FB-22 StrikeRaptor.
