The McDonnell Douglas F-18XL is a derivative of the F-18 Hornet, with a cranked-arrow delta wing. It was originally conceived as a technology demonstrator. Several years after the prototypes were shelved, they were turned over to NASA for additional aeronautical research. Both aircraft are currently stored at Edwards AFB.
