Target entity: Northrop X-21
Context triple: [X-Plane experimental aircraft programs, notableAircraft, Northrop X-21]
  • A. Northrop X-4 Bantam
    The Northrop X-4 Bantam was a late-1940s American experimental jet aircraft designed to test the stability and handling of a tailless, swept-wing configuration at transonic speeds.
  • B. Douglas X-3 Stiletto
    The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was a slender, jet-powered experimental research aircraft of the early 1950s designed to investigate sustained supersonic flight and advanced aerodynamic concepts for future high-speed aircraft.
  • C. Bell X-2
    The Bell X-2 was a rocket-powered experimental research aircraft developed in the 1950s to investigate flight characteristics at extremely high speeds and altitudes, contributing crucial data to early supersonic and space-era aeronautics.
  • D. Bell X-5
    The Bell X-5 was an early U.S. experimental jet that pioneered variable-sweep wing technology, helping to shape the design of later high-performance military aircraft.
  • E. Bell X-1
    The Bell X-1 was a pioneering rocket-powered research aircraft that became the first airplane to break the sound barrier in level flight.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
