What were all the falcon models called in there pre production stage?
There was "orion" for the FG and I think it was "Blackwood" for the XD, but what about the others, XK, XR, XA, EA, AU. Also what about the engines, did they have names like the new "coyoty" V8 that the falcon is getting?

AU = ?
AU 1.5 Ute = Osprey AU2 = Grizzley AU2 Ute = Seagull? (Some think the original I6T was also Seagull) BA = Barra BA RTV = Brolga SX = Raptor (E265) BF = Copperhead SY Turbo = Hammerhead FG = Orion There was a thread about this very topic on here quite some time ago. Lukeyson
