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.
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.
In the mid-1990s, NASA and the Boeing (then McDonnell Douglas) “Phantom Works” built two unmanned X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft to develop technology for a maneuverable, tailless fighter.
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.
The McDonnell Douglas X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft was built in the late '90s in collaboration with NASA with the objective to reduce weight and drag while increasing...
The X-36 aircraft flown at the Dryden Flight Research Center in 1997 was a 28-percent scale representation of a theoretical advanced fighter aircraft. The Boeing Phantom Works (formerly McDonnell Douglas) in St. Louis, Missouri, built two of the vehicles in a cooperative agreement with the Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California.
NASA and McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC) personnel steadied the X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft following arrival at NASA Dryden...
McDonnell Douglas and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) embarked on a joint project in 1994 to develop a prototype fighter aircraft designed for stealth and agility. The result -- after only 28 months -- was a subscale tailless aircraft called the X-36.
