	Promotex Online - The Phantom Works: Where dreams take flight
		Boeing's Phantom Works turns aviation concepts into reality; developing ideas for future civilian and military aircraft and advanced projects for the exploration of space.
		The Phantom Works BWB studies include civilian planes capable of carrying as many passengers as the giant Airbus A380 and transport aircraft capable of delivering volumes of cargo over very long ranges.
		Phantom Works engineers are working with the USAF Space Command and NASA to develop the Flexible Aerospace System Solution for Transformation (FASST), a vehicle capable of rapid strategic response and orbital operations.

	FLUG REVUE October 2000: Boeing Phantom Works
		When in 1997 Boeing and McDonnell Douglas merged into the largest aerospace company in the world, Boeing adopted a policy of continuing the most successful parts of both companies and either disposing of or closing the ones which were ineffectual.
		Phantom Works is split over two sites, Seattle in Washington and Seal Beach in southern California, but within the Boeing Company it is operated like a virtual organisation.
		Phantom Works provides the Boeing board with expert input into the decisions that have to be made prior to launching any programme.

		Boeing Phantom Works plans to resume flight testing of the X-50A Dragonfly canard rotor/wing (CRW) technology demonstrator in February, after completing analysis of data from the 80s first hover flight on 4 December.
		Boeing is assessing whether further work is required to reduce friction in the reaction-drive rotor hub before beginning forward flights.
		Boeing then intends to increase speed in 10kt increments until reaching the 120kt target for conversion between rotary-wing and fixed-wing flight, when the rotor is stopped and locked to become a wing.

		In particular, Boeing officials pointed to Wednesday's sixth successful free-flight test of the X-40A, an 85-percent scale version of the X-37 experimental reentry vehicle, as evidence of progress.
		An Army Chinook helicopter lifted the X-40A to an altitude of 14,992 feet (4,570 meters) and released it at 9:16 a.m.
		According to Boeing, it will be the only X-vehicle capable of conducting on-orbit operations and collecting test data at Mach 25 (reentry) speeds.
