Post on Boeing 988-122
Boeing/Lockheed Martin Strike Platform
- Team: Boeing St. Louis (prime)/Lockheed Fort Worth (using Boeing Seattle original 988-122 design)
- Spotted over Wichita, KS in spring 2014.
- A-12 Avenger heritage.
- Boeing St. Louis lead System Integrator.
- No canard, pure spanloader - higher takeoff speeds required.
- Lower quarter chord sweep and slight area ruling to enable transonic performance.
- Two below-chine, ram-air, serpentine, low distortion inlets into inlet duct, feeding two turbofan engines.
- Single centerline rotary weapon bay.
I posted on this in another thread in this forum, but am having doubts of it's relation to LRS-B. According to the contracts, it appears it is Navy
related. Could this be the return of the A-12 Avenger?
