A video of the transportation of an unknown aircraft of the Lockheed Martin company appeared on the web

A concept of a sixth-generation fighter or other aircraft being developed by Lockheed Martin was spotted near the American company's test facility. The filmed video has already been circulated on social networks and has caused a lively discussion.

The publication of the video and screenshots of the video on Twitter aroused great interest, several options were proposed for what kind of object it was, up to the fact that Lockheed Martin tested the fuselage of the Northrop Grumman being developed drone X-47B, since the outlines are quite similar. The majority of commentators are lost in conjecture.

One of the netizens claims to have shown this video to General Mark Milli, chairman of the US Chiefs of Staff. As emphasized, the general could not answer anything about this object.

Meanwhile, it was found that the video was filmed at one of Lockheed Martin's test facilities, or rather, the Skunk Works radar signature test site in Helendale, located in the Mojave Desert near the company's headquarters. According to The Drive, this test site has played a key role in the development of American stealth aircraft since the early 80s.

It is suggested that this could be one of the prototype models of the sixth generation aircraft being developed as part of the NGAD (Next-Generation Air Dominance) program. In the spring of this year, it was reported that the appearance of the aircraft has not been finally determined, but this does not prevent companies from developing and even demonstrating various concepts.

Flight of a pancake Navigator, already reptioloids do not burn at all!

[Sands Careers General]

Why should they burn, hamsters in UFOs and aliens believe only in movies)))

[Shurik70]

Now life has gone!
Previously, spies did this at risk to their lives, but now the local population itself voluntarily uploads everything to the Internet.

Intelligence works like this for a long time. Analysis of government contracts, grants, attracted firms, just with the advent of gadgets, it has become much easier to do.

[Obstacle]

Why would they want to learn Spanish nobles?)

[Cananecat]

The fact that this "Spanish nobility" has enterprises with certain products that can be used in the course of creating something secret ... respectively, a meeting of two or more representatives of the nobility will make it possible to say in which direction the work is being carried out.

[SKVichyakow]

I think they laid it out on purpose. They want to show that they, too, are not baked and can still do something.

[dauria]

I think they laid it out on purpose.

Yes, this is the roof of the minimarket. The guys from Lockheed cheated, made a left order for a local merchant, and all at once "Oh, Oh ...."

[SKVichyakow]

Jokes are jokes, but it is noticeable that they, however, do not sit still.

[dauria]

they, however, do not sit still

In 1936 it was called "not to sit still". And now it is even indecent to talk about novelty. HAI -3. The engine is like a Po-2, glazed cylinders on the wing - passenger cabins for 10 people.
The wing is the purest plywood caisson. He flew very well.

[Evil troll]

Plywood for something more modern, and I don't want to fly.

This is true. The truth surfaced after 30 years

Another balalaika at the price of gold by weight?))

[dzvero]

So guess now - either a puncture by the security service, or they deliberately planted a hopeless model ... But 100% next year, the Chinese will have something like that

[tralflot1832]

This is a roof for cutting the US military budget. I was not the only one who thought so, I am not an artist, but this is how I see it.

ett is not an airplane but a piece of plywood or something else, with the supposed shape of something

the video was filmed at one of the test facilities of the Lockheed Martin company, or rather, the test site of the radar signature

[Petro_tut]

To assert this, you need to know for sure, do you know this for sure?

or are you going to argue otherwise?

[zwlad]

The flying saucer is straight.

[rotmistr60]

It has been suggested that this could be one of layouts

Well, if they express such an opinion, then why should we bother expressing our own?

Just like your mobile phone, without base stations and the Internet, is just a brick, not a telephone, so this summer, without being tied to satellites and ground infrastructure, is a simple toy. Not needed.

Let Roma pay for the development of his technique better. However, he does this anyway.

[Oleg Olkha]

It looks like the engine air intake is on top with a "broken edge" ... Excavation impact UAV?

A video of the transportation of an unknown aircraft of the Lockheed Martin company appeared on the web

you never know what is transported ... when it flies, where it flies, HOW it flies, it will be interesting!

[Evil troll]

Maybe it's some kind of detail at all. Immediately drone, drone.

[Jacket in stock]

If this is a polygon for measuring the signature, then the image can be anything.
Naturally, a layout, because a full-fledged machine is not needed for such purposes.
And it is not at all necessary that this is how it will look completely?
This is exactly the same as during tests in a wind tunnel - they did it, tried it on, did not like it - they redid it ... and so on in a circle until you like it.

[Reserve buildbat]

Yes blinded on a quick layout for Hollywood. Looks like a new movie about Star Wars is being filmed
But seriously, it pulls on a full-size model to assess the "stealth", given the place where it was spotted. And the hole in the center is visible. As far as I remember, there such models are placed on a column and irradiated from different sides.

[Shaman]

Petrov and Bashirov were looking for the spiers of churches to take pictures, but they came across it.

[km-21]

If this contraption is related to military aviation, it is most likely only as a disguise of the true appearance of a real development. While competitors are trying to figure out the parameters of this thing and simulate something similar, the real prototype will be tested in strict secrecy, and look completely different.

[Vadim237]

Most likely this is a new strike drone or rather its model.

[Borisych]

Obviously, super duper, as the former American president used to say. You can carry anything on a trawl for the amusement of journalists without even covering it with a piece of tattered tarpaulin. And take a picture too. So this is a super duper, no doubt about it.

[Boris63]

Some kind of crap ... What kind of "mover" is supposed to get there? No air intakes are visible.

[Nikolay Sayenko]

if they do not hide, then they are bluffing!
