Description
Description | The X-44 MANTA was a radical, tailless derivative of the F-22 Raptor designed to eliminate all vertical and horizontal tails and rely entirely on thrust-vectoring to maneuver. It aimed to reduce radar cross-section, increase range and agility, and boost internal fuel and weapons capacity. The project was a collaboration between Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, NASA, and the U.S. Air Force, but was canceled before any prototype was built due to budget constraints, technical risks, and shifting defense priorities. |
