This resource can describe it better than I could in only words -- Aerospaceweb.org -> Aircraft Lights & Beacons The key points is that there are typically white, red and green lights. They normally do not need to be located in specific locations, but some must be visible from certain perspectives. For instance, for navigation lights a red light must be visible on the left side of the aircraft and a green light must be visible on the right side. The only requirement specified by the FAA is that they must be "spaced laterally as far apart as practicable" -- typically this means near the wingtips. ~jetwhiz Tuesday, November 16, 2010 -- 1:19:11 PM PDT |

I wouldn't get too excited about it though ... satellites make much more realistic high-speed / high-altitude spy craft than the Blackbird. The operating and maintenance costs of it were far too high to be sustainable, especially when you can just send out a UAV, the Dragon Lady or use a satellite. A bomber version of that aircraft might be more useful. ~jetwhiz Saturday, September 05, 2009 -- 4:43:07 PM PDT |

Maybe, but the F-111 was still the cool kid on the block ~jetwhiz Saturday, July 11, 2009 -- 7:06:23 PM PDT |

Subject: The worst plane ever to fly Name: jetwhiz Message: True, the V-22 has overcome many difficulties in its time, many of which plagued V/STOL aircraft for well over half a century. A significant portion of the V-22's life was spent attempting to overcome these issues, and many of them have been worked out ... at the cost of many lives. The design is far from new and revolutionary, however. The American X-18 and X-19 (Curtiss X-200), in particular, did an excellent job spearheading the future V-22 design and principles. I think the X-19 could have easily been the first V-22, if Curtiss had been willing to put more interest and funding into the project (the military was certainly interested even back then). Many countries had also been toying with the idea, at various levels of success; the Russian Yak-38, for instance, was even successful enough to enter 'combat'. The first decade of the V-22's life were relatively pathetic. Many more modifications, training exercises and desperate attempts at keeping the project alive have allowed the V-22 to limp its way into the history books, but I personally find it to be far from an impressive aircraft. I guess it isn't entirely the Osprey's fault that it had such a rough start, and the military seems to be gung-ho about it. The bottom line is that they really need this design, and so it's pretty much guaranteed to succeed. ~jetwhiz Tuesday, May 19, 2009 -- 11:58:04 AM PDT |

Subject: The worst plane ever to fly Name: jetwhiz Message: Although not the best, it was still a relatively important aircraft ... even NASA adopted a -144 for SST testing in the '90s. My vote would go to the X-27, but then again that never even got a chance to fly. How about the V-22 then? ~jetwhiz Tuesday, May 05, 2009 -- 6:03:15 PM PDT |

In this economy, such things disappear if they existed to begin with. As soon as the cold war ended, stuff like that stopped. Which is why the F-22 has been under such scrutiny and is now not being produced beyond it's current number of 187 (186 if you count the one that crashed). Basically, like jetwhiz said, there is no purpose for such an aircraft when we have satellites that are more cost effective, and more capable. |
