X-44 MANTA The X-44 MANTA is a converted delta-winged F-22 which uses vectored thrust as its sole means of control. The X-44A has been referred to as the MANTA, or Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft. A conceptual drawing of an X-44 is said to resemble a tailless F-22, and is said to be based on an F-22 airframe, engines and systems. www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/aircraft/x-44.htm   (238 words)

FB-22 Strike Raptor & X-44 MANTA A similar program is the X-44 Manta, a delta-winged F-22 which uses vectored thrust as its sole means of control. The wing for the FB-22 can be tested on the X-44. MANTA is an acronym for Multi-Axis No Tail Aircraft. www.geocities.com /xplanes2000/F22MANTA.html   (507 words)

FB-22 - Open Encyclopedia At first glance the FB-22 design might appear similar to the X-44 MANTA, however the FB-22 would rely on wing control surfaces and likely have fixed engine nozzles. The elongated delta wing and lack of any tailplanes coupled with a possible change to the General Electric/Rolls-Royce F136 engines would allow for a higher top-speed, sacrificing some maneuverability for better bomber performance. open-encyclopedia.com /FB-22   (160 words)

Lockheed refines FB-22 concept - Topic Powered by Groupee Community Whether I am sending a pair of GBU-31 900nm into X bad guys airspace or flying a jet over downtown Baghdad 24:7:365 with a stack of 8 GBU-39, I have to have the same inherent _platform flexibility_ to get the job done. 8X250lbs X 4 jets is THIRTY TWO aimpoints. Which means that, especially since you can send each (F/A-22 or A-45) jet to cover a different geographic area in a given raid, you don't have to dork about with 'sequential' targeting. forums.military.com /eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/986194012/m/644105315   (2441 words)

New Page 0 In 1999, the U.S. Air Force began development of the X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis, No-Tail Aircraft) based on the YF-22 Raptor as an experimental test bed for this research. Although initially scheduled to fly in 2007, the MANTA project has allegedly been scrubbed due to lack of funding. In an attempt to improve "stealth" technology, many aircraft designers and engineers have tinkered with the idea of eliminating tail and rudder surfaces altogether and instead using "thrust vectors" -- tiny onboard jets -- to provide yaw, pitch and roll control. www.fantastic-plastic.com /X-44A_MANTAPage.htm   (151 words)

YF-26 Stalma, YF-23 Blackwidow II, and other aircrafts... Then another aircraft is the X-44 MANTA, MANTA is short for Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft. The YF-23 Blackwidow II however is the sister-craft to the F/A-22 Raptor (actually, the YF-23 Blackwidow II is the older sister to the F/A-22 Raptor since the F-22 program was created in response to the F-23 program). Finally, there is the FB-22 Concept/Raptor, it was built in response to the demand of a bomber-version of the F/A-22 Raptor. journals.aol.com /dragonofdante/Journal/entries/471   (783 words)

Designed specifically for model making and in development for 15 years, every single component of the original first "hero" 44" miniature, as it appeared throughout the bulk of Season One, is faithfully documented in exact detail. Based on the F-22 fuselage but with a new full delta wing, the X-44 was designed to test the idea than an aircraft can be flown using controlled vectored thrust alone. www.starshipmodeler.com /news3.cfm   (6786 words)

FB-22 Unlike the similarly appearing X-44 MANTA, the FB-22 would rely on wing control surfaces and likely have fixed engine nozzles.

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Part 2 We may expect to find human embryos with tails (and we do; see Figure 2.3.1), but we never expect to find leg buds or developing limbs in the embryos of manta rays, eels, teleost fish, or sharks. Even though the conclusion may be negative ("structure x has no function"), the detection of biological functionality or lack thereof is based upon positive evidence, not negative evidence. 44; Griffiths 1992; Hall 2003; McCabe 1912, p. www.talkorigins.org /faqs/comdesc/section2.html   (11855 words)

Mail 248 March 10 - 16, 2003 The designation X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) is attached to a NASA/USAF proposal, currently dormant, to modify a Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 prototype to demonstrate flight without any aerodynamic controls, using multi-axis thrust vectoring. And really the point is that we can argue forever; but until we FLY some x projects that incorporate some of the technologies and get some data, we will continue to argue. A direct development of the X-34A, this would be powered by a cooled hydrogen-fuelled dual-mode scramjet, which would run for 10s and accelerate the vehicle to M15. www.jerrypournelle.com /archives2/archives2mail/mail248.html   (10242 words)

The Fighters Anthology Resource Center Message Board An experimental tailless version of the F-22, known as the X-44 Manta (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) has been studied by NASA and the USAF Laboratory. Lockheed Martin has studied a tailless design under the Innovative Control Effectors (ICE) program, with a 65º-swept delta wing and a combination of slot-spoiler and conventional aerodynamic controls. Tailless technology could sharply reduce the bomber's side-on radar cross section. www.network54.com /Forum/message?forumid=33351&messageid=1022375476   (993 words)

Thrust vectoring relies on a circular set of paddles just aft of the engine outlet to deflect the exhaust flow for control.
