Appears to be behind a steel frame?

A weld at bottom right? In a test-rig?

Not in a test rig, but actually mounted in an airframe!

Good afternoon Graeme

Thanks mate.

Hope you've had a good day!

Awake as usual, so a little clue for any early risers; this challenger led with it's chin and got knocked out!!!

It is indeed the Boeing X-32B

The design that lost out to the Lockheed-Martin X-35 aka Lightning II

The full view of the rear end and that chin!



Sycamore has control; I see your light is on, have you anything for us (and Silhouette Challenge)? If not, then please call Open House!

Hi Mel.

Mig 3...AQ rules!

(Now going back to make sure...)

Edit...can't locate it in AQ's archives? Definitely Soviet...

Edit 2...I remember seeing it and thinking the image was inverted.

Edit 3...Bugger, it's Tuesday. Open house if it is Mel....
