Boeing Bird of Prey

The Bird of Prey ( Raptor ) was an experimental aircraft McDonnell Douglas ( 1997: Boeing ) for the U.S. Air Force. The development cost of U.S. $ 67 million and began in 1992. Between 1996 and 1999, a total of 38 test flights completed. The machine is designed as a buoyancy body, the composite material consisted of only one part. The structural design had stealth characteristics that have been realized through the external form, materials and a completely new air intake. The aircraft was developed only on technology demonstrations and trials.

Many of the technologies developed have been incorporated into the Boeing X -45 program for an unmanned combat aircraft.
