The McDonnell Douglas (later Boeing) X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft is an American stealthy subscale prototype jet designed to fly without the traditional empennage found on most aircraft.

2014年2月28日 · The X-36 is a 28-percent scale representation of a theoretical advanced fighter aircraft configuration. The Boeing Phantom Works (formerly McDonnell-Douglas) in St. Louis, MO, built the X-36, in a cooperative agreement with NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA.

X-36 是一种遥控无尾技术验证机，它在试验中获取的数据将能极大的提升未来 战斗机 空战操控性和生存能力。 X-36 将用来研究战斗机隐身设计与飞行敏捷性的配合，及其对其它性能的影响。 X-36按照实际战机28%的尺寸建造，由一个在地面站虚拟驾驶舱中的飞行员驾驶。 虚拟驾驶舱的影像来自安装于机鼻的摄影机。 X-36依靠鸭翼、副翼以及先进的矢量推进喷口控制方向。 但是由于在欧拉角和偏航这两个轴上都不稳定，所以和X-29一样需要加装先进的数字飞行控制系统才能保 …

The X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft is a subscale prototype jet built by McDonnell Douglas designed to fly without the traditional tail surfaces common on most aircraft. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California hosted the X-36 program, as well as providing range support for the flight tests.

2019年9月21日 · The X-36 is a 28-percent scale representation of a theoretically advanced fighter aircraft configuration. The Boeing Phantom Works (formerly McDonnell-Douglas) in St. Louis, MO, built the X-36, in a cooperative agreement with NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA.

2023年4月10日 · The X-36 was an experimental aircraft designed to find out if planes could be just as maneuverable at a wider range of speed. Here's what happened.

The tailless X-36 demonstrator was one of several test planes and studies that likely paved the way for the F-47 sixth-generation stealth fighter. ... At the end of the test program, caricatures of the test pilots who flew the jet from the ground station appeared on the cockpit, applied in Magic Marker. As might be expected, the F-47 has a ...

The X-36 reached altitudes of over 20,000 ft (6,100 m), speeds in excess of 230 mph (370 km/h), and angles of attack up to 40° in a total of 15 hr and 38 min of flight.

2014年1月24日 · The X-36 project team developed and demonstrated the tailless fighter design using advanced technologies to improve the maneuverability and survivability of possible future fighter aircraft. The X-36 program met or exceeded all project goals.
