Does anyone have an idea what a plane that could be? Probably NASA experimantal. I looked for a long time but couldn't find anything. (Moffett Field)

I think this is a prototype for the Sikorsky S-72 project, or perhaps an earlier pathfinder for the prototype - here"- Aircraft #2, c/n 72-002, received NASA serials 546, 741 and N741NA between February 1979 and October 1994. Remained stored at NASA Ames" Ames being at Moffett Field. Interesting find!

The S-72 is, my meaning, the plane nearby. This other plane are to short and looks different.

Yup, you're right . I didn't look too closely at the other aircraft! Perhaps a pathfinder for a similar project...

It's a Grumman 698, with wings missing and in GE appears to now have the engine removed and alongside Grumman 698
