Description

Boeing "Bird of Prey" Airplane ModelThe Bird of Prey was a black project aircraft intended to demonstrate stealth technology. Fully paid for by company funds at a price of $67 million (as opposed to the government sponsored norm), it was a very cost effective program, developing technology and materials which would later be used on Boeing's X 45 UCAV. As an internal project, this aircraft was not given an X plane designation. The Bird of Prey was developed beginning in 1992 by then

The Bird of Prey was a black project aircraft intended to demonstrate stealth technology. Fully paid for by company funds at a price of $67 million (as opposed to the government-sponsored norm), it was a very cost-effective program, developing technology and materials which would later be used on Boeing's X-45 UCAV. As an internal project, this aircraft was not given an X-plane designation.

The Bird of Prey was developed beginning in 1992 by then-McDonnell Douglas' Phantom Works division for special projects. Phantom Works is now a part of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. The aircraft's name is a reference to the Bird of Prey spacecraft from the Star Trek television series.

The first flight was in 1996, and 39 more were performed through the program's conclusion in 1999. The Bird of Prey is rumored to have been used to test active camouflage, which would involve coatings or panels capable of changing color or luminosity.

Interestingly, for a groundbreaking aircraft, the Bird of Prey uses a commercial off-the-shelf turbofan engine, and hydraulic controls rather than fly-by-wire. The lack of computerized controls on a military aircraft is an oddity in modern times, especially on an aircraft with such an unusual wing design.

The aircraft was made public on October 18, 2002, and was put on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio on July 16, 2003.

Mahogany Wood. Scale: 1/40. Length: 15 inches, Wingspan: 7 1/2 inches.

Soft Tank Top
Size: Small, Color: Bright White
Very soft material and comfortable and fits true to size, but the size is flowy/oversized or “relaxed” as they call it. If you want a tighter fit, size down. Perfect for layering.

Drapes Without Clinging, Loose Fit, Odd Shoulder Seams
Size: Medium, Color: Forest Green
I bought the medium and it fits well but I probably could have gone with a small (I'm a size 10). I prefer a looser fit so it's fine with me. The fabric is soft, stretchy and drapes really nice without being clingy. The only thing I find odd is the neckline/shoulder seaming. If you put the shoulder seams where they belong, the back neckline drops lower than the front (the pictures show otherwise). It doesn't feel odd and with the dark color it's not noticeable but it's worth mentioning. I got it on sale, so it's a great value if you don't mind having to line dry.

Love the fit!
Love the fit and feel of this tank. Feels casual yet classic. I wish it came in more color/print options. A red stripe or a green stripe would awesome! I am 5'1" and 165 (large chest) and a large fit perfect!

Love the print, but didn't like the style...
Size: Small, Color: Dark Camel Leopard
I'm 5'5 114lbs 34B and got the "camel" leopard print in size small. I think it's technically a cute shirt and it fits okay, I guess, but the style and color ended up looking terrible on me! For reference, the size small measures 21 inches long (from the center of the front collar to the bottom), and about 18 inches wide. I find the style really unflattering on me. The color seemed like it would be flattering for most skin tones, but it ended up making my yellowish skin tone (I'm half asian) look sickly. Also note that this shirt is made of rayon, which is sensitive to heat, so if you get it (and you like it) you should keep it out of hot water and avoid putting it in the dryer if you don't want it to shrink. As for the fit, I usually wear size small unless I want my shirt to fit oversized or flowy etc, so I got this in small. It fits loose enough to be comfortable, but this type of collar is so unflattering on me (I could deal if it was either higher or lower) and the curved hem and in-between length just doesn't suit my body type. LOL, apparently, the fact that it has a cool print still doesn't change the fact that the "muscle" tee style looks terrible on me. It might suit someone else though. The fabric is stretchy and soft, but it's not clingy or see thru (might be in other colors though). The armholes also don't gape at all (doesn't show any of my bra). I ended up having to return it.
