Boeing X-32 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Boeing views its investment in the X-32 as a strategic investment, yielding important technologies which it has been able to adopt in the F/A-18 Super Hornet and other studies. First flight of the X-32A (CTOL and carrier trials) took place in September 2000 from Boeing's Palmdale plant to Edwards Air Force Base. On 16 November 1996 Boeing and Lockheed Martin were awarded contracts under Phase II to produce two concept demonstrators which were to demonstrate Conventional Take Off and Landing (CTOL,) carrier take off and landing (CV version,) and Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL). www.encyclopedia-online.info /X-32   (603 words)

Towards First Flight - Boeing Propulsion System On 28 February 2000, Boeing announced that the first flight of the X-32B would be delayed, this delay is due to technical challenges encountered in integrating the STOVL propulsion system with the flight control system. Boeing currently expects the first flight of the X-32B to take place in the fall of 2000. Boeing is also responsible for physically and functionally integrating the engine system provided by P&W and RR with the aircraft, thus forming the propulsion system. www.vtol.org /Boeing.htm   (981 words)

Lockheed fighter jet takes $200B prize Boeing could become a subcontractor for major parts, as it is on the Lockheed F-22 fighter, or develop composite materials to help aircraft escape radar detection, as it did for the Northrop Grumman B-2 bomber. Boeing's avant-garde design may have been the most conservative technically, especially for the 600 jets that the Marines require be capable of taking off from short runways and making vertical landings like a helicopter. Boeing opted for a single delta wing and a central air intake mounted obtrusively just under the nose. www.globalsecurity.org /org/news/2001/011029-jsf01.htm   (615 words)

Aerospaceweb.org Aircraft Museum - X-32 Boeing was also penalized for proposing several changes between the X-32 demonstrator and the final production model. A unique aspect of Boeing's original inlet design was its ability to move forward and downward to open an auxiliary intake slot bringing in more air for flight at very low speeds (such as landing aboard an aircraft carrier on the Navy variant). Boeing adopted a rather compact layout featuring a trapezoidal wing of high surface area mounted high on a rather portly fuselage. www.aerospaceweb.org /aircraft/research/x32/index.shtml   (514 words)

M36.DOC Boeing's two X-32 concept demonstrators will be used to meet three primary objectives: demonstrate commonality across the variants as well as the commonality of design and build processes; demonstrate the Boeing concept for STOVL propulsion, hover and transition modes; and demonstrate the Boeing concept for low-speed carrier approach. Boeing is building two X-32s, each of which will fly in 2000 as part of a JPO demonstration focused on critical design characteristics. The X-32A will demonstrate how the Boeing JSF meets the US Air Force's need for an aircraft that operates from conventional airfields, and the US Navy's need for one that operates from aircraft carriers. www.ukdf.org.uk /millibrief/M36.DOC   (4474 words)

The New York Times > Business > Boeing Board Ousts Chief, Citing Relationship With Executive Boeing said that the investigation found that the relationship was consensual and did not affect its the conduct of business, and that neither the career nor the compensation of the female executive was influenced by it. Boeing has been trying to resolve two lines of federal investigations, one involving the improper acquisition of a rival's proprietary documents and the other stemming from a former top Air Force official's admission that she steered billions of dollars in contracts to the company before it hired her. Boeing's board said it had a robust succession plan and that it was considering Boeing executives as well as candidates from outside the company to replace Mr. www.nytimes.com /2005/03/07/business/07cnd-boei.html?ex=1267938000&en=a22acae5f420a16b&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland   (4474 words)

The Model Hangar - X-35 and X-32 in diecast form? Boeing's JSF looks like the engineers from the original F4B/P-12 series were transported forward in time and given CAD computers to come up with a next generation fighter. May 19th, 2005 04:11 AM I honestly think Boeing lost the contract just because the thing was too damn ugly The old Boeing biplanes were a true JSF, serving as a fighter bomber in the prewar Army, Navy and Marines without even being designed to. www.modelhangar.com /forum/printthread.php?t=1401&pp=40   (2239 words)

Boeing X-32 Joint Strike Fighter Carrier Variant Ducted Fan or EDF Boeing did not finish their X-32 aircraft with fancy color schemes like Lockheed-Martin did with their X-35's. Once Boeing's X-32 lost to Lockheed-Martin's X-35 my interest waned. These holes, and the positioning of the former in the fuselage will be finalized, after the rear former is glued in place. home.att.net /~mgmccaffrey/ma/x32.htm   (1763 words)

air-lockheed The Boeing X-32 may have looked unconventional externally, but it incorporated an updated version of the Harrier’s direct lift system, that deflected thrust through a pair of nozzles in the fuselage, and closed off the normal jet-pipe. Boeing’s JSF contender was an innovative-looking aircraft, a tailless Delta (though it would gain tailplanes for improved pitch authority as the programme progressed), with an unusual chin intake. It has been suggested that Boeing were “right on the edge as far as hover lift was concerned”, when Lockheed were “doing VTOs in the high desert at 96°F with less than full throttle”. www.global-defence.com /2002/test02/air-lockheed.html   (2018 words)

Navarre Press - Weekly News & Information The X-32B concept demonstrator has validated the Boeing solution to the program's short-takeoff-and-vertical-landing requirements. "In 58 flights to date, the X-32B has been outstanding," said Frank Statkus, Boeing vice president and JSF general manager. Underscoring the commonality of its JSF design, Boeing is using only two aircraft to demonstrate requirements for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and the United Kingdom's Royal Navy and Air Force in the current concept-demonstration phase of the program. www.navarrepress.com /archive/072701/military/mil1.html   (171 words)

A fighter with flexibility Boeing's X-32 is substantially different—and, some say, marginally more capable—with its deep, blended-delta-wing arrangement and an STOVL propulsion system similar to the Harrier jump jet. Boeing's J/IST assignment is to develop is an integrated power/thermal-energy management package in which new subsystems such as hybrid starter/generator units and combined cooler/ power generators replace conventional air-conditioning and auxiliary power units. For example, the Boeing Navy plane will be fitted with a moveable vortex fence in-board on the wing, which provides some nose pitching moment, according to May. Similarly, the wing and tail of the Lockheed Martin Navy version will be enlarged to permit slower landing approaches. www.memagazine.org /backissues/january98/features/fighter/fighter.html   (3022 words)

X-32 completes government testing In February, Boeing completed testing on the X-32A, its concept demonstrator for both a JSF carrier variant and conventional-takeoff-and-landing variant. Additional flight tests on the X-32B will yield data that can be compared to predictions Boeing has made about their aircraft's performance. Boeing is in competition to win the EMD contract, under which they would provide JSF variants to the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, as well as the British Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. www.dcmilitary.com /navy/tester/6_27/local_news/8540-1.html   (867 words)

AeroWorldNet(tm)-Farnborough '98 Daily Headline News Boeing will build the X-32A as the carrier-based plane and use that airframe to simultaneously demonstrate the capabilities of the basic Air Force version. Boeing has a team working on the X-32 as well; but since the project began, the Seattle-based company has assimilated its major partner, McDonnell Douglas. Boeing's system is simpler and aids commonality because "no space in the fuselage is set aside for direct thrust gear," Statkus said. www.aeroworldnet.com /5tw09098.htm   (789 words)

Boeing X-32 The Boeing design received the designation X-32 and the Lockheed Martin design the designation X-35.

Frugal's World of Simulations - U.S. to Choose Next Generation Fighter on Friday-Which one do you want? Poll Boeing says that the vast majority of the jobs tied to fighter jet production would be secure for several years but that new projects won't come in time to save them all. Boeing, meanwhile, is accentuating the company's performance on such projects as the Super Hornet and C-17; its manufacturing technology -- related in part to its commercial sector -- and its management competence. Boeing adds that its short-takeoff-and-landing design is the least-risk approach because it is based on a proven system -- the direct lift system -- used on the Harrier-model airplanes. forums.frugalsworld.com /vbb/printthread.php?t=8937   (5579 words)
