X31 Aircraft Configuration
The X31 is an experimental aircraft developed to test ultra-high
maneuverability via the use of thrust vectoring. The aircraft is a
supersonic aircraft with canards instead of a horizontal tail to
control the pitch of the aircraft. The geometry modeled includes the
wings, fuselage, tail, canards, engine inlet and the engine outlet.
