It was none of the X series - not least because they were all taken up by a B-52 and none of the winged X-planes so far mentioned was built by Boeing.

Nor was it under tow.

B-2 ?

Now, that's approaching the ballpark. Although (so far as I recall) it never flew with help from another aircraft.

Hi Sean

I think you've officially broken the record for a "quick" question!

Give us another clue - what decade did this happen in?

All the best

So let's try again. I've found something like a Boeing Blended-Wing Body. It's Boeing, It can be considered as triangular however and it has engines. However I have no information about it's gliding abilities or flying without engines...

Are there any rules on what and how the question/s should be formatted? or the subject matter?

just what it says on the tin. Aircraft trivia quiz. spot the difference, name the plane from a photo, or a simple teaser like Sean's . Anything goes really as long as it is related to aviation.

I have in mind a twin engined bomber that ended up its days as a gunnery trainer.
