Mcdonnell Douglas JSF proposal
Mcdonnell Douglas JSF proposal.
The Mcdonnell Douglas Joint Strike Fighter was to be aerodynamically unstable and it would have been controlled via thrust vectoring.
The proposal was rejected for being "too complex".
Interestingly, the X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft, a UAV that takes the this design concept even one step foreword by not having any kind tail surface at all, made 31 successful research flights. And according to reports, it handled very well, and the program is reported to have met or exceeded all project goals
