Martin Aeronautics presents one of our most technologically advanced aircraft to date, the X-3 Eagle Eye.
The Eagle Eye is an Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft developed by Martin Aeronautics in the late 90s, and furthermore purchased by the U.S.A.F. for capability testing.
It was determined early on in testing the X-3 was an impressive aircraft. It had great handling and beefy landing gear suitable for non-paved landing strips.
It did however lack in one area specifically.
It did not excel in power. Each engine only produces around 3,000 shp. The main competitor at the time ( E-2 Hawkeye) produced around 5,100.
The lack of power didn’t help this aircraft’s case. The airforce needed a rocket ship to even have a chance at replacing the e-2. And unfortunately, an aircraft as large as the x-3 only having 6,000 shp combined just didn’t cut it. The airforce proceeded to decline Martin Aeronautics offer for their newest design and sent the Eagle Eye to the “boneyard” where it rests to this day.
