List of experimental aircraft - Wikipedia
A group of 1950s NACA research aircraft. As used here, an experimental or research and development aircraft, sometimes also called an X-plane, is one which is designed or substantially adapted to investigate novel flight technologies. [1] [2] [3]
Experimental Aircraft Information | EAA
Amateur-built aircraft are built by individuals and licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as “Experimental.” The Experimental designation has been in existence for more than five decades.
Experimental aircraft - Wikipedia
An experimental aircraft is an aircraft intended for testing new aerospace technologies and design concepts. The term research aircraft or testbed aircraft, by contrast, generally denotes aircraft modified to perform scientific studies, such as weather research or geophysical surveying, similar to a research vessel.
