Nameįirst aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Navy designations before 1962, while others have been known only by manufacturers' designations, non-'X'-series designations, or classified codenames. experimental aircraft have been designated as X-planes some received U.S. Most X-planes are not expected to go into full-scale production one exception was the Lockheed Martin X-35, which competed against the Boeing X-32 during the Joint Strike Fighter Program, and has entered production as the F-35. X-planes 7 through 12 were actually missiles (used to test new types of engines), and some other vehicles were un-piloted (some were remotely flown, some were full-on drones). Later X-planes supported important research in a multitude of aerodynamic and technical fields, but only the North American X-15 rocket plane of the early 1960s achieved comparable fame to that of the X-1. The first, the Bell X-1, became well known after it became, in 1947, the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Some of the X-planes have been well publicized, while others, such as the X-16, have been developed in secrecy. The majority of X-Plane testing has occurred at Edwards Air Force Base. Most of the X-planes have been operated by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) or, later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), often in conjunction with the United States Air Force.

X PLANE 10 AIRCRAFT LIST SERIES

The X-planes are a series of experimental United States airplanes and helicopters (and some rockets) used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. We still add some X-Plane 10 files from time to time but by user demand, we now focus mainly on XP11.This article is about the X-series of experimental aircraft.

X PLANE 10 AIRCRAFT LIST INSTALL

Repaints are easy to install and they are built to work with the existing aircraft so you can be sure you'll have a full cockpit and even a 3D Virtual Cockpit (VC) working when installed. X-Plane 11 comes with many high-quality aircraft out of the box and developers have chosen to expand on these existing aircraft with paints (repaints) of their own. At the moment, freeware developers are focusing on repaints as opposed to full models.
