Originally the wings were to be formed separately but I figure the best way to get a good match will be to shape them along with the fuselage. Due to the thinness of the wings I will shape these from balsa over a styrene profile.
The X-45 was powered by a Honeywell F124-GA-100 turbofan. The engine is tightly cowled and difficult to see in photos however the front and rear will be visible so I have begun fabricating these.
In this picture only 3 of the first stage fan blades have been fitted and the nose cone is glued in position ... many more to add.
how in the heck did you get plans for this plane?
