I was watching F-35 videos with the upcoming F-35 from Dino. In this youtube video at the end, is a airliner that looks to me that has canards on it (front and back). Never seen this plane be for. Anyone know what its called.

Some of those testbeds get pretty funky. I always liked the 720 testbeds for weird protrubances.

Thanks for the info. Never occurred to me as a testbed.

Very cool video and a lot of it was filmed over Lockheed-Martin/Carswell AFB. As a matter of fact, that last shot looking down as it made a turn over the base is Lake Worth and the 301st area on the north end of the base. Figures this would all happen after I left, lol
