Yes indeed...one of them anyway. I work in Engineering and we prototype many new designs. Do you know how many prototypes we make????

ONE...if it works then we go into production.

Yes it looks like a toy but as you said it rapidly changes to a weapon artefact. :grrr:

I'm not exactly a novice in aero engineering...this "thing" is not a "photo-survellance" vehicle, as Iraq contends....look at the fuselage, and the way the tail section is positioned...plenty of room to store and disseminate bio-chem agents w/o damage to the delivery system (i.e., the aileron and rudder controls) at all.

If they wanted photo-ops, their (French-built) Mirages or their (Russian-built) MiG-29s would be much more suitable for this mission, with state-of-the-art (German-built) cameras installed.

Think about this, folks...

Probably another case of disinformation. Given the choice of believing Saddam or President Bush I'll take the President any day!!!!!!
