Re: Boeing "Bird of Prey" - One sweet-looking aircraft

I'm really excited about this Bird of Prey.  It's one of the most exotic-looking planes ever built.  As a technophile, I can appreciate all of the advanced technologies that were first tested on this plane (some of which probably haven't been acknowledged yet.)  I can't wait until we get the full story on this plane.

Re: Boeing "Bird of Prey" - One sweet-looking aircraft

Bird of Prey?  Must be some trekkies, I mean, trekkers in charge of naming it. smile  That is a very unusual looking plane though with the stabilizer being on the bottom instead of the top (I think that's acting as the stabilizer) and the placement of the wings so far back on the fuselage.  I also like the way the wings angle off.  It almost looks like a bird flapping its wings.  It looks like something you'd see in a 1950's sci-fi comic book.
