New Guy 1 Posted January 7, 2009 Hi guys, it's me again Just want to ask whether there were any X-31 on work or not. If not, maybe I'll try my hand @ modelling to make one. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Soulfreak 6,366 Posted January 7, 2009 haven´t read anything about a wip X-31.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+EricJ 3,994 Posted January 7, 2009 Nope, no X-31 as of yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted January 7, 2009 I've got one underway but it's a stumpy pile O's**t, and its down on the list below the X-32 (which looks pretty good and about to start animating sometime this century) So if you think you can do it faster, feel free to, I work at a snails pace.

+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,554 Posted January 7, 2009 Could you pls post some X-32 pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talos 0 Posted January 7, 2009 This is one I actually started to fiddle with building. I've only started the fuselage so far, fortunately it's a really simple shape compared to most aircraft! I'll try and get some more work done on it tomorrow, hopefully enough to post. For inspiration, some of my F-31A Sparrowhawk drawings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted January 8, 2009 Haven't really been many noticable changes since the first pics I showed people, mainly just organizational stuff with parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,554 Posted January 8, 2009 Looks ugly as the original do!!! Good work on this really and internal work is important and time consuming to.. haven start on my Mig-19 yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ST0RM 145 Posted January 8, 2009 Eraser, nice work on the X-32. While ugly, I do like the later version that was to have tailplanes, revised wing and a different intake. -S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,554 Posted January 8, 2009 I like the first version.. looks more .. like a future fighter! Liked also the ATF X-32 version if someone remember? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted January 8, 2009 The ATF one was modeled off the original X-32 concept. Strangely, lockheed had the designation X-32 when the program was JAST/CALF but it got transfered to Boeing for the JSF program. It looked like this windtunnel model in ATF, but with rounded intakes and slightly flatter looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Guy 1 Posted January 8, 2009 Let's see if I can make the rest of my vacation worthy with this bird... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zmatt 2 Posted January 8, 2009 That looks like the F-35. I thought the X-32 had a chin air intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted January 8, 2009 Bad angles. The first pic apparently doesn't have the canards attached, but the second one does, its hard to see. I simply couldn't find a better image for the old concept design now that it's been finalized. From the top you can see its much different, big wings like the X-32, canards like the X-29 and exhaust nozzle like the X-32, but cockpit and fuselage like the X-35.

zmatt 2 Posted January 8, 2009 Oh I see the canards now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
i90807065 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Cool! Looks like a rpator but with some slight upgrades. Hope we can see that one eventually! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Timmy 1 Posted January 9, 2009 Eraser, nice work on the X-32.

DWCAce 19 Posted January 9, 2009 As much as I love Boeing, I'm glad they didn't win the JSF, it's too ugly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zmatt 2 Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah the F-35 is a much easier on the eyes. The X-32 looks like the X planes from the 60's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dload 0 Posted January 9, 2009 It looks so sleek and beautiful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Timmy 1 Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah the F-35 is a much easier on the eyes. The X-32 looks like the X planes from the 60's. Perhaps I'm a lost soul but to me the F-35 is ugly. At least the X-32 and X-23 had character. The F-35 looks like two playing cards stuck on a popsicle. Give me that whale-mouthed beauty any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
