Lore:

Origin:

• F-X02 the second configuration design from 4 of the NTF-X program, the F-X02 has technical sharing with NGFS program of the Sweden Air Forces. Later, F-X02 were chosen for prototype producing.

Program delayed:

• 9 month later ,The first prototype deployed in a 606th test flight, after the flight both testing-pilots and engineer was lock in the trouble, when the tailless design decreasing much stabilities so it's hard to control with the lower speed although the split-rudder kept stabilized at the lower speed it's still hard to taking control.
• The trouble were seem bigger when the prototype number 001 damage at the nose gear between landing, due to the avionics systems still in a landing mode made the aircraft in unstable and hyper-reflexing with a surface control make the frontal of the aircraft turn up and stall from the lowing speed and then, the frontal of the aircraft were crashing on the ground made the nose-gear deducted suddenly.

• The NTF-X program was delayed due to the failure of the 001 prototype. The board believes the complexity of the airframe design and the unstable flight system were factors in the accident. However, the documents from this deposition were intentionally leaked to the public, potentially forcing the program.
