| Ahmet Alegoz, ahmet.alegoz=habas.com.tr, 21.06.2010 So ugly. | | Eric, erickeira=hotmail.com, 15.06.2010 Lets not forget the perameter of this competition that started the contest- cost $$$$! Lockheed Martin was seriously over budget and almost got disqualified. Boeings plane performed just as well, the final production jet would be 1500 pounds lighter negating the removal of body panels. Looks should matter least compared to cost effective, air superiority. Just my 2 cents | | Maurice Sharpe, mms7124=hotmail.com, 12.05.2010 This plane was never seriously considered because of its looks. It outperformed the Lockheed model in most important parameters. | | Igor, 28.04.2010 It wasn't ever up against the F-22 dman - it was up against the Lockheed Martin F-35 (both planes were X series during the development and selection phase). It is a very ugly airplane and I don't believe it ever met the primary selection specs set by US Defence Dept - take off vertical - fly supersonic - land vertical in a single flight. A poor period in boeing's history. | | dman, 17.01.2010 I can't immagen this thing flying instead of the F-22 | | chaiwat kosatanakom, wanchaison=yahoo.com, 15.08.2009 Whatsoevr design it is! I swear to make it in paper model for Christ sake! | | Eric Bishop, ericbishop5417=yahoo.com, 10.03.2009 I think this is the most handsome aircraft there is too bad they could not get this aircraft to fly with-out removing the inlet scoop. | | Ahmet Alegoz, ahmet.alegoz=habas.com.tr, 09.01.2009 What an ugly plane! I'm glad to lost the race. |
