Aircraft Taken at More: Scaled Composites More: Scaled Composites 281 Proteus More: Mojave (MHV) More: USA - California, November 21, 2008 Remark Photographer N281PR (cn 001) A weird aircraft design, very unusual to the eye. Proteus is a high altitude research platform, which can carry different types of payloads, it is seen carrying the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP), an USAF project led by contractor Northrop Grumman to develop the next generation of airborne air-to-air and air-to-ground radar systems. Proteus is able to stay airborne for quite a long time and enjoyed the company of a chase plane (Piper Cheyenne) on this day. More: Gerhard Plomitzer Contact Gerhard Plomitzer Link to me!
