	Bird-of-prey (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing Bird of Prey, which bears a resemblance to the Star Trek spacecraft, also took its name from the fictional series.
		The Romulan Bird of Prey class starship, a 2260s-era fighter seen in "Balance of Terror", featuring a cloaking device and a powerful plasma-based weapon and easily identifiable by the red and yellow painting of a bird on the bottom of the hull
		The use of the term with respect to Klingon ships was in itself an error by the writers, who changed the enemies in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock from Romulans to Klingons without updating the dialog.

	Now you see it, now you won't: Boeing lifts the veil on stealthy Bird of Prey - Jane's Aerospace News
		Boeing's Bird of Prey technology demonstrator, unveiled in St Louis on 18 October after spending a decade in the world of 'black' or classified programs, is a very important step in stealth technology, combining a very low radar cross-section (RCS) with a renewed focus on visual and even acoustic signatures.
		An unusual feature of the Bird of Prey was that it was designed with an all-manual control system, with pushrods and a mechanical mixer box linking the stick and rudder pedals to four control surfaces — elevons on the inner wings and 'rudderons' on the outer wing panels.
		Many features of the Bird of Prey support the hypothesis that it was designed for unprecedented RCS levels: possibly an RCS of -70dBsm, or rather smaller than a mosquito.

	Star Trek Minutiae » The Humor Archive » The Big Bird of Prey
		In a recent conversation of the Flare sci-fi message boards, we were discussing Brannon Braga's comment that they had "accidentally" referenced a "Klingon bird-of-prey" or "Klingon warbird" in "Enterprise," and he apologized to continuity-minded fans.
		Star Trek™ and related names are registered trademarks of Paramount Pictures.
		While we were discussing the vast difference between Romulan ships (which have always been based on birds) and Klingon ships (which took on some birdlike characteristics AFTER they allied with the Romulans, about 100 years after Enterprise takes place), someone mentioned that Romulan ships have big birds on their hulls.

	BirdPrey
		Senior officials at the October 18 unveiling of the radical prototype—named after the Klingon spacecraft in Star Trek, which shares its aft-set, cranked wings—acknowledged that the Bird of Prey was designed to be stealthy enough to survive in broad daylight.
		The Bird's innovative features are sure to inform the design of next-generation stealth aircraft, but the plane itself, having served its purpose, is being retired—which is why Boeing and the Air Force were willing to make it public today.
		This morning, October 18, 2002, the Air Force and Boeing unveiled to a small group of selected journalists the Bird of Prey, a previously "black" or ultra-secret airplane prototype that was built and tested in the mid-1990s.

		We assume that the Bird-of-Prey in Star Trek III was a B'rel class ship, while the larger versions of that ship sometimes seen on Star Trek: The Next Generation were K'Vort-class vessels.
		The Klingon battle cruiser was designed by Matt Jefferies and introduced during the third season of the original Star Trek series.
		A more detailed version was built by Magicam for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and was reused in Star Trek II, Star Trek VI, as well as Star Trek: The Next Generation.

	Boeing makes once-secret, subsonic 'Bird of Prey' public
		The Bird of Prey plane is named after a Klingon spacecraft in "Star Trek."
		The Bird of Prey is 47 feet long with a 23-foot wing at the rear that is shaped like a "W." Powered by the same Pratt & Whitney engine used on the Citation business jet, the Bird of Prey has a maximum speed of about 300 mph and a maximum altitude of about 20,000 feet.
		The Bird of Prey plane is 47 feet long with a distinctive 23-foot wing at the rear shaped like a "W." The Boeing project ran from 1992 through 1999.

		Atlantis gives you a terrific 3D ride experience, Star Trek gives you a franchise and a more realistic immersion experience.

	Amazon.co.uk: Video: Star Trek 7 : Generations [1995]
		Star Trek fans would know that there is no way a Klingon Bird of Prey could beat a Galaxy class starship even without shields, the Enterprise should have been easily able to pound the Klingons but what's done is done and we got a new Enterprise next movie (miss that at your peril).
		Star Trek: Generations, the seventh of 10 feature films based on the two series created by Gene Roddenberry, is the final passing of the torch from the Original Series to the Next Generation crew as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and his crew takes the Enterprise-D on its continuining trek across the stars.
		There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation: either Captain Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or there would be some time travel involved in the plot.

	Ex Astris Scientia - Redresses of the Merchantman
		The Merchantman was the small unfortunate civilian vessel than fell victim to the Bird-of-Prey in "Star Trek III".
		The original Merchantman from "Star Trek III" is rather well-documented, including fairly precise renditions in the Star Trek Fact Files, as well as a couple of publicity shots.
		Still, for the sake of the dramatic impact the vessel is shown as being small as a shuttle, at the very most 20m in relation to a 109m BoP.

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		When ENTERPRISE launched last year it was in the unique position of being the first STAR TREK series since the original 1966 show that didn’t really have any merchandise to sell.
		Case in point: the phase pistol, which looks remarkably like a STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION “cricket” hand phaser with a pistol grip under it (it also shares elements of the black “Colt.45” phaser from STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER).
		Art Asylum became the first toy company to nab the STAR TREK license for a major line since Playmates, and the New York-based firm immediately set out to distance itself from prior TREK licensors.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
		Solution: The Enterprise crew takes a trip back through time (in the stolen Klingon bird-of-prey from Star Trek III) to the 1980s (conveniently coinciding with the production time fram of the film) in order to snag a couple of whales and repopulate the future.
		The plot is totally cornball but amazingly it works extremely well, showing that Star Trek need not rely on kooky alien species and special effects to tell a good story.
		When Captain Kirk (or Admiral Kirk, as he is here) are trapped in the past they have all manner of fun misadventures -- dealing with a totally unfamiliar culture, adapting primitive technology to their mission, and swimming around with whales.

		("STAR TREK IV: The Voyage Home") In gratitude for his saving of the Earth, Starfleet gave Kirk command of a second Consitution-class Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701-A).
		Takei's book is an excellent read and is especially noteworthy for its socially-important and long-overdue treatment of life in the unconstitutional internment camps where Japanese persons living in the U.S. were interred during World War II.
		During his visit to Earth in 1986, Sulu met his great-great-great-great-grandfather when he was a seven-year-old living in San Francisco.

	Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
		Considered by some to be trash and by others to be the only good odd numbered Star Trek film, this is a sufficiently entertaining bit of science fiction yarn that continues following the theme of what happens when you mess with mother nature.
		Trivia: The uniforms worn by the security guards are the same uniforms from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), but they're worn with the new red Starfleet uniforms, and a dark green turtleneck, which represents the security division.
		Good performances as usual, with Lloyd giving one of his best as the Klingon Commander Kruge, who becomes oddly sympathetic in light of his blood thirsty actions when you consider that he was just looking out for his own brood and was willing to spare the crew of the USS Grissom.
