Boeing pilot Joe Felock made it clear that the Bird of Prey – named after a Klingon spacecraft from Star Trek – was a low-performance demonstrator, designed to put a representative shape into the air with minimum time and expense. Maximum speed was 260kt and the highest altitude achieved was 20,000ft. The 14.2kN Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engine would have been working hard to propel a small-winged 3,360kg aircraft even if it were not breathing through a tortuous inlet; Northrop Grumman, using the same engine on its X-47A Pegasus unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) demonstrator, has reported problems in reducing duct losses.
או בקיצור- מטוס הניסוי החביב הזה קיבל השראה מספינת החלל עם אותו שם, כנראה בגלל צורת הכנפיים הזוויתית.
