Jul 3, 2021 Thread starter #3 M MIflyer 1st Lieutenant 6,582 13,061 May 30, 2011 Cape Canaveral You see that fairing right in front of the cockpit? I have to assume it has to be for a camera. In any case, at last someone topped the X-3 for a long thin sharply pointed airplane. And in any case, even if it is not successful as a design it doubtless will appear in many SF movies.
