Overview

The Boeing X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft is an American stealthy subscale prototype jet UAV. Built for NASA and first flown in 1997, it was designed without the traditional empennage found on most aircraft. This configuration was designed to reduce weight, drag, and radar cross section; and increase range, maneuverability, and survivability.
