The only difference is that the Bell X-22A is real and flew almost forty years ago, the Lockheed X-22A is made up. Or at least the name is. IF this
aircraft exists at all it will be known as something else. IMHO

also i doubt this thing is possible just cause of the physics of it.
i mean its just too dificult ot produce an mantian and FLY.

The problem is the fact that you're thinking about this from a traditional aerodynamic view. If this thing is anti-grav, all current aero knowledge
goes out the window.

no the basics still exsist like airflow, when the air is flowing over the craft it affects it. now on a disc its impossible for it even with anti grav
propilsion,its really unstable and well is far too unstable to pilot.

Very nice of you to clear this up, also, anyone who believes that the US government or any other government, for that matter, has recovered "an
extra-terrestrial air/spacecaraft", let alone cover it up, needs to be commited to an insane asylum in a secret location and never released to the
general public for the remainder of their lives, reason being; provoking mass hysteria. There is no such thing as ETs and "little green astronauts"
flying around in so called flying saucers.

This doesn't sound right. The only X-22A I have ever heard of was made by Bell back in the 80s i think and it had four fan engines used for lift.
After doing a search online i could only find that the only guy posting about this is Dr. Richard Boylan. Does anyone out there have more info on this
thing because I am a huge of Lockheed and have never heard this before

Wrong. If you for instance, could create a gravity field just say for instance, 10 mete3rs ahead of the craft, that is hrmmm, 20 times the gravity of
earth, the air would be affected by the gravity also, So the air would rush to that spot also, the air in front of the aircraft between the aircraft
and the gravity field would basically be going in the same direction as the craft.
It woul dbe like you aren't moving against the air at all...

yeah well that would requier a very powerful energy source on the craft.
hmm yeah well it IS possbile. but it would also suck the craft their and anything near it. hmm. interesting idea though.
one thing though how is it gona land or fire ?

To land, simply hover very close to the ground and shut off the gravity field. To fire, I don't know, but I suspect energy weapons (especially a
laser) would be perfect because they are very resistant to gravity.

umm one thing though everything near ,under or on the ground will be pulled towards the craft or repelled away so not so good for an airbase lol.
but would be easy to land.
still it would have to be massive to carry a powersource of a laser.

Not at all. There is going to be a laser on the JSF which only has one engine, so I would assume a nuclear powered Flying disc (or one with a more
exotic energy source) would also be able to power a laser.

object at like mach 2.
a nuke would be nasty if it crashed or got shot down.

Foo-Fighters... all foo
Of course the Air Force and Lockheed and Boeing and every agaency and their dogs have a TONNE of crap we don't know about, and maybe we shouldn't
know about it. I personally love aircraft, and would give my left nut to see a fraction of the cool stuff that some of these agencies have been
designing and building, but its secret for now and for good reason. Why tell Joe Public something to make him happy that is only going to take away
your battle field advantage and cost soldiers lives. One day they will declassify this stuff, be it next year or thirty years from now, but some day.

Shouldn´t it be simply the X-44A MANTA (MultiAxis No Tail Aircraft) by Lockheed? It is also near disc shaped with no tail surfaces and it looks very
unusual. The designation X-22A should be a mistake, because X-44A is a tailles derivate of F-22A with 3D vectoring. It is belived, that two prototypes
remanufactured from YF-22A will be ready at 2008. For pictures see my web at:
www.hitechweb.szm.sk/x44.htm
(sorry, but my english is still not very good)

IMO i wouldnt call that near disc shape, more like an f22 with a fat round arse but if its a good plane then who am i to insult it.
the problem with discs is that they must fly spinning , if not they sorta go unstable and tend to crash.
