If you have seen other planes i have uploaded, you know i love X-planes... But this one never flew, and only a mock-up model was made... The Bell X-16 was a high altitude reconnaissance jet aircraft designed in the United States in the 1950s. Unfortunatly a reconnaissance version of the B-57 (RB-57) took its place and the design was scrapped... Well too bad, as this aircraft was realy cool and hard to build, as i had difficulty finding any blueprints for it. Please r8 and comment!
