The small size of the missile forebody and the K-band AN / APQ-64-radar limited performance, and it was never able to work in testing.

;F-18 HARV : Single-seat High Alpha Research Vehicle for NASA . High angles of attack using thrust vectoring, modifications to the flight controls, and forebody strakes
13.
A "'drag-reducing aerospike "'is a device ( see Nose cone design ) used to reduce the forebody pressure aerodynamic drag of blunt bodies at supersonic speeds.
14.
Light AP Zaslon will comprise a system of nonrecoverable, detachable modules of various kinds, with two accommodated on the vehicle's upper forebody and as many on its sides ( in its integrated configuration ).
15.
The aeroshell consists of two main components : the heat shield, or forebody, which is located at the front of the aeroshell, and the back shell, which is located at the back of the aeroshell.
16.
The X-43A's developers designed the aircraft's airframe to be part of the propulsion system : the forebody is a part of the intake airflow, while the aft section functions as an exhaust nozzle.
17.
"' Amphiaspididae "'is a muff-like unit, so that the forebody of the living animal would have looked like a potpie with a pair of small, or degenerated eyes, with each flanked by a preorbital opening, and a simple, slit-like mouth.
18.
The PAC-3 missile is also more maneuverable than previous variants, due to 180 tiny pulse solid propellant rocket motors mounted in the forebody of the missile ( called Attitude Control Motors, or ACMs ) which serve to fine align the missile trajectory with its target to achieve hit-to-kill capability.
19.
The "'High Alpha ( angle of attack ) Research Vehicle "'was an American modified McDonnell Douglas F / A-18 Hornet used by NASA in a 3-phase program investigating controlled flight at high angles of attack using thrust vectoring, modifications to the flight controls, and with actuated forebody strakes.
20.
The " SDC " ( or Steel Drilling Caisson ) was built for Canmar in 1982 by attaching the forebody of the Very Large Crude Carrier " World Saga " to the top of a steel barge with sloping sides ( mimicking an artificial island ); the barge can be ballasted to sit on the bottom for drilling operations.
