Advanced Technology on Aircraft
There
are so many aircraft have been develop in these era of where technology
upgrades and updates so fast. Many technologies have been tested on aircraft to
create more fast and easy to maneuver aircraft especially for military
purposes.
Today, NASA and Boeing have been still developing many aircraft that
will surely blow your socks off with their very advanced and intricate
structures. These blog will showcase you some of the coolest plane have been
built.
The X Planes
1. Rockwell X-30
The Rockwell X-30 was
an advanced technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space
Plane (NASP), part of a United States project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner. It was cancelled during the
early 1990s, before a prototype was completed, although much development work
in advanced materials and aerospace design was completed. While a goal of a
future NASP was a passenger liner capable of two hour "trips"
from Washington to Tokyo, the X-30 was planned for a crew of two and oriented towards
testing. Find more information on Rockwell by visiting this blog or make your
own Rockwell X-30 by folding
jet paper airplanes on here.

Martin Marietta X-24
The Martin Marietta X-24A was an experimental US
aircraft developed from a joint USAF-NASA program named PILOT (1963–1975).
It was designed and built to test lifting
body concepts, experimenting with the concept of
unpowered reentry and landing, later used by the Space Shuttle. Test your own X-24A just visit
this link to fold the pointed and stealth paper airplanes.
3. Rockwell MBB
X-31
The Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31 Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability program was
designed to test fighter thrust
vectoringtechnology. Thrust vectoring allows the X-31 to
fly in a direction other than where the nose is pointing, resulting in
significantly more maneuverability than most conventional fighters. An
advanced flight
control system provides controlled flight at
high angles of attack where conventional aircraft would stall.
Fly the the sky with you own aircraft, fold now your own paper airplane looks
like X-31.
4. NASA X-43
The X-43 is
an unmanned experimental hypersonic aircraft with
multiple planned scale variations meant to test various aspects
of hypersonic flight. It was part of NASA's Hyper-X program
and has set several airspeed
records for jet-propelled aircraft. The X-43 is the fastest
aircraft on record at over 6,500 miles per hour (10,461 km/h).
A winged booster rocket with the X-43 placed on top, called
a "stack", is launched at speed from a larger carrier plane. After
the booster rocket (a modified first stage of the Pegasus rocket) brings
the stack to the target speed and altitude, it is discarded, and the X-43 flies
free using its own engine, a scramjet. Winged
hypersonic jet aircraft will surely enjoy flying at the sky, make your own now.
5. Boeing X-45
The Boeing X-45 unmanned combat air vehicle is a concept demonstrator for a next generation of
completely autonomous military
aircraft, developed by Boeing's Phantom Works. Manufactured by Boeing
Integrated Defense Systems, the X-45 was a part of DARPA's J-UCAS project.
6. Northtrop
Grumman X-47a
The Northrop Grumman X-47 is
a demonstration Unmanned
Combat Aerial Vehicle. The X-47 began as part of DARPA's J-UCAS program, and is now part of the United States Navy's UCAS-D program to create a carrier-based unmanned
aircraft. Unlike the Boeing
X-45, initial Pegasus development was company-funded.
The original vehicle carries the designation X-47A
Pegasus, while the follow-on naval version is designated X-47B. Make your own X-47 on this page to
