The Boeing X-36 was an experimental unmanned aircraft developed by Boeing and NASA in the 1990s. It was designed to test the feasibility of a tailless fighter jet that used thrust vectoring and advanced flight control systems to achieve high maneuverability and agility. The X-36 had a delta wing shape with winglets and a canard foreplane. It was powered by a single turbofan engine with a two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzle. The X-36 had no cockpit or landing gear, and was launched and recovered by a modified Boeing 747. The X-36 was remotely controlled by a pilot in a ground station using a virtual cockpit display and a side-stick controller.
The X-36 program began in 1994 and lasted until 1997. Two prototypes were built and flown for a total of 31 flights, accumulating 15.2 hours of flight time. The X-36 demonstrated excellent performance and stability in various flight regimes, including high angles of attack, post-stall maneuvers, and supersonic speeds. The X-36 also showed the potential for reduced radar cross-section and lower maintenance costs compared to conventional fighter jets. The X-36 program was considered a success and provided valuable data and insights for future aircraft designs. However, the X-36 was not intended to be a prototype for an operational fighter jet, and no further development was pursued after the program ended.
