The Boeing X-50 Dragonfly formerly known as the Canard Rotor-Wing Demonstrator was a gyrodyne unmanned aerial vehicle that was developed by Boeing and DARPA to demonstrate the principle that a helicopter's rotor could be stopped in flight and act as a fixed wing. The X-50A built upon the work of the Sikorsky S-72 X-Wing program of the 1980s by designing the vehicle as a multi-mode aircraft from the ground up. The X-50A was one of two projects funded by DARPA in its Heliplane program.
Il Boeing X-50 Dragonfly, più conosciuto come Canard Rotor/Wing demonstrator è stato un elicoplano UAV sviluppato da Boeing e dal DARPA a dimostrazione del fatto che il rotore di un elicottero può fermarsi in volo ed agire come un'ala. L'X-50A era uno dei due progetti della DARPA concernenti il suo programma sugli elicoplani.1
