The X-44 design had a reduced radar signature (due to lack of tail and vertical stabilizers) and was made more efficient by eliminating the tail and rudder surfaces, and instead using thrust vectors to provide yaw, pitch and roll control. [1] The X-44 MANTA design was based on the F-22. The engine and fuselage would be carried over to the X-44.
The resulting X-44A (although apparently unrelated to the previously developed X-44 MANTA) was built in 1999 and first flew in 2001, [1] representing an interim design between the Darkstar and P-175 Polecat. However, Lockheed Martin kept the X-44A under wraps until February 2018. [1] [2] [3] The X-44A successfully tested multiple technologies.
X44 or X-44 may refer to: . Agent X44, 2007 Star Cinema film starring Vhong Navarro as Agent X44 with Mariel Rodriguez in her film debut; Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft), a conceptual aircraft design by Lockheed Martin that has been studied by NASA and the U.S. Air Force
The reveal coincided with the spotting of the Chengdu J-36 from its sister company, Chengdu Aircraft Corporation. [7] Unconfirmed reports suggested the Shenyang fighter made its maiden flight on 20 December 2024. The Shenyang aircraft prototype seemed to be smaller than the Chengdu one. It was trailed by a Shenyang J-16 strike fighter as the ...

Only those designated after 1962 are listed here. Some aircraft did not have military sponsors, but since they were designated under the same sequence they are listed here. For aircraft in the sequence designated before 1962, see List of United States Air Force aircraft designations (1919–1962) § X: Special Research/Experimental (1948–1962).

Additionally, the X-22 was to provide more insight into the tactical application of vertical takeoff troop transporters such as the preceding Hiller X-18 and the X-22's successor, the Bell XV-15. Another program requirement was a true airspeed in level flight of at least 525 km/h (326 mph; 283 knots).
