X-Wings

[boxkite]

In addition to the LHX topic I found these two illustrations regarding the X-Wing development:

Lockheed X-Wing testrig from “Interavia” 7/1982 (pg 642).

An example for an civil X-Wing proposal from “Introduction to V/STOL Airplanes” by Kohlman (pg 166). Manufacturer/company? Designation?

Very nice, fightingirish, thanks!

Excellent my dear Rolf.

Hi folks,
here a Lockheed-California X-Wing commercial jet concept from the early 1980's. It could have accommodated up to 50 passengers.


This concept might have been posted somewhere else in this forum. :-\
So in such a case, dear Mods, please feel free to move it to a much more suitable topic.

Terrible link. In future, include a *good* link and the name of the report so it may be found when NTRS changed things up again.

Here's a current link:

For a moment I thought it was a Heath Robinson device to speed up skyscraper construction.

Processed Plastic Rocket Fighter/X-wing rip-off

Yesterday I got to thinking about a toy I'd owned as a child, and had not thought about in many years. I remembered it having an X-wing configuration, yet being different enough from Star Wars' designs that it did not risk copyright infringement. I also remembered it having a hinged canopy that o...

I completely agree, so I am utterly stumped as to why you posted this entirely irrelevant link. Please, go back to your native troll habitat and do not ever come back.

I have absolutely no idea who you are referring to. Are you trying to troll me?
