How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T235244 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Douglas X-3 Stiletto
The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was a slender, jet-powered experimental research aircraft of the early 1950s designed to investigate sustained supersonic flight and advanced aerodynamic concepts for future high-speed aircraft.
-
B.
Bell X-2
The Bell X-2 was a rocket-powered experimental research aircraft developed in the 1950s to investigate flight characteristics at extremely high speeds and altitudes, contributing crucial data to early supersonic and space-era aeronautics.
-
C.
Bell X-1
The Bell X-1 was a pioneering rocket-powered research aircraft that became the first airplane to break the sound barrier in level flight.
-
D.
Bell X-5
The Bell X-5 was an early U.S. experimental jet that pioneered variable-sweep wing technology, helping to shape the design of later high-performance military aircraft.
-
E.
Northrop X-21
The Northrop X-21 was an experimental U.S. jet aircraft of the 1960s designed to test laminar-flow control technology for improved aerodynamic efficiency.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Lockheed U-2 Description of subject: The Lockheed U-2 is a high-altitude American reconnaissance aircraft designed for intelligence gathering missions, particularly during the Cold War.
