Boeing X-50 (Redirected from X-50)

First flight of the Boeing X-50A

The Boeing X-50A, formerly know as the Canard Rotor/Wing Demonstrator, is a UAV being developed by Boeing and DARPA to demonstrate the principle that a helicopter's rotor can be stopped in flight and act as a fixed wing. The X-50A builds upon the work of the Sikorsky X-Wing program of the 1980's by designing the vehicle as a multi-mode aircraft from the ground up. The X-50A is powered by a single conventional turbofan engine, the exhaust of which is directed to the tips of the blades for rotary wing flight, the rear nozzle for fixed wing flight, and mixed for transition between the two.
