Greetings:
BAC...Boeing Airplane Company designations for Dyna Soar began with
Model 814 series progressing through
Model 844 series.
There were many incremental series of DS gliders from the initial 1010 model throughout the 814 series that continued into the 844 series.
Example; initial Boeing System 464L (Dyna Soar) response in March, 1958) wa;
BAC Model 814-1010 Dyna Soar I glider.
This is off the top of my head since I'm at a Library Internet computer and not at home, but it is nevertheless correct.

Gentlemen:
Here is a geneaology chart of Boeing spacecraft studies. Some or all may have made it into the model wind tunnel testing phase. I know some did, but no info on how many. perhaps this gives a peek into the late 1950s-1965 era of the Cold War space prjects.
Just to advise those interested in spacecraft projects. a 5,000 plus word article is now completed for publication in QUEST History of Spaceflight Quarterly. While most articles speak about a USAF Space Force and many AF Officers wrote a history of same, it is most always political in nature. My article is the "nuts n' bolts history of a discussed behind closed doors, "EOMSF" Earth orbital Military Space Force. By peruisng all my research and connecting numerous historical dots from post WW II, I completed an alternate view of cool but nevertheless, interest in a military satellite, space stations, trips to the moon, but pointedly...the formation of a military space force during and after Sputnik I and II. this describes formation, vehicles, missions, weapons, yup...Charlie, there really was talk of "death Rays," but such was untenable at the time, and the numerous Dyna Soar designs applied to a dozen plus missions. I expect my Military Editor will inform me if it is too sensitive or will fly. he is already squirming in wait for this 3-month nightmare that is now coherent enough to publish. Keep eyes and ears open. Will notify those at this site when it is published. The photos are phabulous!

FM: Bomiwriter:
Greetings. The EOMSF story got out of control. Now it is 6,500 words and 94 or so footnotes, os the story will be an in-depth history of the various weaponry constituting a projected Cold War era U.S. space force. I'm waiting to hear from my Military Editor and what he will say about it since I trod down unknown references to post WW II military space operations right up to and slightly beyond the initial Sputnik launches. This will be a unique look into the nuts n' bolts constituting a planned space force that would have consumed vast amounts of money just to research, build and test orbital weapons prior to paying for their operational use. Nuff said, and awaiting yay or nay from the Editor.
Thanks have have a good day.

Hi All!
Thanks you very much Stargazer2006!
Model 824---ICGM for the Dyna Soar/X-20
Model 825---START(Space Transport and Re-Entry Tests), it would boost-test vehicles to high speeds and altitudes.
...but Model 879---SAINT ?
Model 879---a Dyna Soar derived concept (APR,Issue Volume 2, Number 5)
Model 1047---not final evolution of DYNA-SOAR---AKA Model 814-1047-1 Dyna Soar proposal

[A recap of 800 series Boeing designations pasted from the original designations topic—Mod.]
Thanks to hesham for reminding us about the following links:
Model-869
;http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2232.0/highlight,boeing+close+support.html
Model-896;
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,329.0/highlight,boeing+896.html
Here is a set of previously unknown designations, which come from a document photocopied by fellow forum member Clioman on a visit to Boeing's archives in 1991 (more to follow). I've added a few that were collected elsewhere on this forum but hadn't been previously added to this thread.
Model 804 --- WS-110A program
Model 816 --- first TFX proposal for WS-324A (TAC fighter)
Model 823 --- WS-133A and WS-133B Minuteman
Models 843 to 851 --- related to X-20 DYNA-SOAR program
Model 852 --- SATURN Booster for DYNA-SOAR
Model 858 --- SATURN
Model 860 --- SATURN
Model 871 --- WS-133A and WS-133B Minuteman
Model 872 --- WS-133A and WS-133B Minuteman
Model 876 --- FLYING FISH (whatever that was!!!)
Model 879 --- SAINT
Model 890 --- MOBILE BOMARC
Model 891 --- MOBILE BOMARC
Model 892 --- MOBILE BOMARC
Model 895 --- X-20 DYNA-SOAR
There exists a confusion as to Model 837, which I listed as a "large series of swing-wing close-air support projects for the Army to replace the OV-1", but the picture I got from Aerofiles with that same number clearly shows one of the 869 designs. So perhaps the "837" number is all wrong... unless it is an earlier associated design?
Yes, a Dyna-Soar derived concept is also what I had... but there is no contradiction with it being codenamed "SAINT", is there?

The Model 815 actually had two Dart engines, not four.
