I-Aurora Flight Sciences, inkampani engaphansi kweBoeing, kumenyezelwe Igxathu elibalulekile kuphrojekthi yendiza yokuhlola ye-X-65 selimenyezelwe. I-fuselage yendiza ithunyelwe eVirginia ukuze kuhlanganiswe izinhlelo zokugcina, lapho ochwepheshe sebeqalile ukufaka ama-avionics, izinjini, kanye nohlelo olusha lwe-Active Flow Control (AFC). I-X-65 izolawulwa lapho indiza indiza hhayi ngokulawulwa kwemishini nama-flaps, kodwa ngamajethi omoya aphuma ku-fuselage, njengakumafilimu esikhathi esizayo.
I-prototype ye-X-65 izobukeka njengento ephuma kwi-movie yesayensi: amaphiko ashaywe, umzimba oqondile, indawo enkulu yokufaka injini, futhi, okubaluleke kakhulu, akukho zingxenye ezihambayo emaphikweni noma emsila. Uma idayi ingengezwa emoyeni ukulawula indlela indiza endiza ngayo, umbukiso wokundiza kwayo kanye nokunyakaza kwayo emoyeni bekuyoba okumangalisayo ngempela. Ngokuqinisekile kufanelekile ukuyibuka. Umzimba wayo uhlonyiswe ngama-nozzle omoya acindezelwe angu-14, azoshintsha i-engeli yokuhlasela kwendiza, i-engeli yasebhange, kanye nezinye izilinganiso ezidingekayo ukuze ihambe.
Ngenkathi izinsimbi ze-fuselage zihlanganiswa, ukukhiqizwa kwamaphiko endiza kanye ne-empennage kuyaqhubeka eWest Virginia. Sekukonke, ushintsho olubonakalayo kusukela ekuhlanganisweni kwesakhiwo kuya ekuhlanganisweni okuhlanganisiwe lusondeza lo msebenzi endizeni yawo yokuqala, ehlelelwe u-2027. Lolu hlelo luxhaswe ngokubambisana yi-DARPA kusukela ngo-Agasti 2025.
I-prototype ye-X-65 ithuthukiswa njengengxenye yohlelo olubanzi lwe-DARPA CRANE (Ukulawula Izindiza Ezishintshayo ezine-Novel Effectors), nakuba kulokhu, umsebenzi ugxile ekuboniseni indlela entsha ngokuphelele yokulawula izindiza. Ukususa izinhlelo zokulawula okwenziwa ngomshini kanye nezindawo ezijikelezayo emaphikweni nasemsila kuzonciphisa inani lezingxenye ezihambayo (futhi kwandise ukuthembeka kwendiza), kanye nokunciphisa isisindo, kube lula ukugcinwa, futhi kuthuthukise ukusebenza kahle kwendiza emoyeni.
Imininingwane yobuchwepheshe yomodeli ikhethwe ukuze kuvivinywe ubuchwepheshe obusha obunokwethenjelwa nokuphindaphindiwe: ikakhulukazi, ububanzi bamaphiko obungaba amamitha ayi-9, isisindo sokusuka esingaba ngu-3100 kg, kanye nesivinini esiphezulu esingu-860 km/h. Umklamo usebenzisa ukwakheka kwe-modular, okuvumela ama-engeli okushelela aguquguqukayo kanye nezingxenye ezishintshashintshayo zokuhlola okuhlukahlukene.
Ukushintshela ekuhlanganisweni kokugcina kusondela esigabeni esibucayi sokuhlola. Ngemva kokundiza kokuqala okuphumelelayo ngo-2027, i-X-65 izosebenza njengelabhorethri yokundiza yesikhathi eside, iqoqa idatha yokuthuthukiswa kwezindiza zesikhathi esizayo.
