X-32A JSF First Flight music montage

The X-32 was Boeing's entry into the Joint Strike Fighter competition. Here is a music montage showing events around the first flight. As we all know, Lockheed won the competition with the X-35/F-35, but Boeing's airplane is still very cool, as you can see.

looks ugly anyone agree?

the F-35 Lightning II (JSF) looks betterr

[in4ser]

@Insaneduude Not really reminds me of the Corsair II/Crusader series

[planefreak3]

i think the McDonald Douglas/ BAE design which looked a lot like the YF-23 should have made it, it uses a similar lift system to the F-35 but features TVC...that design would be cool...and also mimick the YF-23 vs F-22 flyoff

[MokomaSusi]

Yeah, i dont understand why people say that X-32 looks ugly. F-35 and F-22 are both very boring looking fighters...

[ColeHimself]

thats cool but i lol at the intake

[bad7trip]

I think x-32 is a gorgeous plane. It looks like a ufo or a spaceship! its so much different and unique than any other aircraft ive seen. Ok it seems that the designers exaggerated a little bit with the intake, but thats a minor compare to the whole thing. The x-35 looks like a really bad imitation of the f-22. Nothing on its design stands out, it looks so boring! Thats my opinion designwise dunno the capabilities of those 2 aircraft.

Are you sure, because I'm pretty sure that the x-32 has a smaller radar cross section than f-35. Not to mention that it's more agile than f-35, due to its thrust vector and unstable airframe. Just because it look bulkier, doesn't mean it's less stealthy, mate!

[twinoceans]

This plane is smaller and more agile than the f-35, maily due to its thrust vector like the f-22, also Boeing did a genius job at making the plane at half projected cost, and the A and C models having the same airframe. However, the vertical landing approach and small payload ruined it. It's a great plane nonetheless, and the Boeing team deserves nothing but praises.

im glad we took the X-35.. because the 32 doesnt even look like an american fighter... its like WTF is that

[poiuytrewq415]

it would have won if not for the shitty harrier lift technology.
