Either way tail numbers are a good thing to have, the seats may have changed in between different aircraft. |

Very true, there are no requirements to have official aircraft status designations start at X and then Y before going to production; there were no official XF-22 aircraft released before the prototype was shown to the USAF. There are two different meanings to 'X' in an aircraft designation:
The X-35 has a basic mission of experimental (not fighter) ... it was an experimental aircraft (not a fighter with experimental status). If it were a fighter with experimental status then it would have been the XF-35. In that sense, there were no XF-35 and YF-35 aircraft made -- just a fully experimental aircraft that led to a production aircraft. ~JetWhiz <8) Sunday, October 04, 2009 -- 6:25:41 PM PDT True, the clarify on the basic mission portion of the 'X' designation. Just because it does not have another designation 'F' for instance, does not mean it was not designed for a more specific purpose. Generally, in cases that lack that 'F' or any other secondary designation the aircraft's fate is still undecided. In the X-35's case, it may have been beat by the X-32, leaving it an 'X' and sending it to the bone yard or a museum. Where as, it won the competition and became the F-35. Also, please understand that this is all based off of the previously mentioned Tri-Service Aircraft Designation System, which was introduced in 1962. That being said, there have been a number of instances where the system was changed and/or disregarded when naming aircraft. |

Take the X-32 and X-35 for instance. The X-35 after winning the contract essentially went straight to the F-35 designation. However, the F-22, was the YF-22 prior to becoming the F/A-22. The actual designation meanings are: X - Experimental Y - Prototype |
