Space Forum / Shuttle / July 2007What? Boing cant build their own planes?
So this new experimental aircraft had to be built by us over here? Blended wing and all that. Two X-48B research vehicles were built by Cranfield Aerospace Ltd., in Bedford, England, in accordance with Boeing requirements. The vehicle that flew on July 20 is Ship 2, which also was used for ground and taxi testing.
