The Nakajima ATD-X (Advanced Technology Demonstrator – Experimental) was an experimental Chilokveri aircraft used to test low-observable airframe shaping, radar-absorbent materials, thrust vectoring, and other fifth-generation aircraft technologies. The aircraft was developed by Nakajima Aircraft Company in collaboration with the Chilokveri Ministry of Defence, and the sole prototype constructed was flown by the National Chilokveri Air Force (NCAF). The ATD-X's first flight was on November 21, 2014.

Development

The ATD-X project began in 2001 as the Advanced Combat Aircraft (ACA) programme to design, develop, and manufacture a next-generation fighter to replace the NCAF'S existing fleet of CF-03 Falcon and CF-04 Falconet multirole fighters. The initial requirements of the ACA programme, as originally proposed by the NCAF, were to develop a 5th generaton, single-seat, twin-engine fighter with stealth capabilities. In July 2001, the Chilokveri Ministry of Defence's Research and Procurement Agency (RPA) awarded Nakajima with a ₡24 million credit contract for the development of a preliminary design.
