While doing a search, I came across this tidbit:
>>>>…On a normal plane most likely not, but on a delta this could lead to the
distruption of the overwing-vortexes responsible for their low speed
behaviour (that’s why the Concorde’s wings have the leading edge shape at the
front, and the reason for LEXX on modern fighters – LEXX gets you some of the
advantages of a delta without the disadvantages).<<<< The Link, if you want to see it for yourself: [url=http://chat.carleton.ca/~jnoakes/ram/tu144.html]http://chat.carleton.ca/~jnoakes/ram/tu144.html[/url] Does anyone know what this is referring to? And do you have a link to the definition so I can see it for myself? [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]To be honest I have no clue what she’s talking about, but most likely a unique acronym that only she uses. Either that or its something top secret used on the F-22 or modern “supercruise” fighters.

Dang, if that’s top secret and a person like me can stumble across it on a simple search, SCARY! [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
Actually I should’ve used the word classified. Theres about 80 million things that fall under that catagory, and most while not disclosed publicly are still known about. Like many classified things, the internet is the place to find em :/
But since the person above has seen it mentioned in helicopters thats most likely where they apply. I dont know a thing about helicopters, just planes [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
A couple of times on Ebay Auctions searches for Lexx model helicopters have turned up. Something to do with that?
