Wikipedia
The Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) was an American conceptual aircraft design by Lockheed Martin that has been studied by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. It was intended to test the feasibility of full yaw, pitch and roll authority without tailplanes (horizontal or vertical). Attitude control would rely purely on 3D thrust vectoring.[1] The aircraft design was derived from the F-22 Raptor and featured a stretched delta wing without tail surfaces.[1]

@Mosquitowithagun Potentially, it was.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover what if it was a vision?
@Mosquitowithagun The weird part is that said dream introduced me to the Manta
Unlike other planes, I hadn't even known of the X-44's existence prior to that dream. Only difference is that it was the F-44 in my dream...
Yes, it was so beautifully haunting that I remember it in full detail to this day
@TheUltimatePlaneLover weird
I saw this exact plane in a dream last year...
Weird
