It seems that the X-24C-12I was the basic configuration for the next researches (NHFRF),
Then the X-24C-12IBT (Boat Tail), the X-24-X1, the X-24-L16 and finally the X-24C-L301.

Hi Steve;
I looked at your table of contents and I have several questions.
[list type=decimal]
Re: hypersonics, beyond X-24C / NHFRF, is there anything planned on Darpa's Falcon HTV-3X / BlackSwift hypersonic program? :-*
Based on your historical research will you also...
...and Martin's entry in X-24C (visible on factory desktop models are just difference in wing/empennage trailing edge). As I understand, Lockheed's X-24C-121 was an early entry, that later transformed to larger X-24C-L301, which already became an NHFRF (National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility).
"The Air Force was engaged in the development of the Hypersonic Technology Integration Demonstrator (HYTID), formerly known as NHFRF, to accelerate the development and demonstration of technology for future military systems designed to operate within the atmosphere at speeds between Mach 4 and...
...It actually had a Lockheed L-301 designation if I recall.
You know, this North American design we've been discussing in this thread actually
reminds me of the X-24C as well. This may have been part of what North American was
thinking about for NHFRF, in the 1970's. Of course this needs research.
...When i started my research on hypersonic aircraft projects in 1999, the only known Mach 6 hypersonic project from Lockheed was the L-301 NHFRF. The X-24 C project was already publicly accessible to some degree if you knew where to look in 1981 (even AW&ST mentionned it along with photo of a...
Stargazer, all these links are in operable. If someone has active links or can supply the following: "L-301 Model Pictures and Reports" that would be helpful to me. Thanks!
Note: Due to NASAs incessant tinkering with their websites, these links are now long dead. However, at least for the moment they *seems* to be available here:

EDIT: Nope, I'm wrong. Those...
The craft you described with the skirt and flat underbelly. I seen that type of plane once.
it was summer 2005 and I was going into my junior year. We just got home from working the night shift security at the local complex for the elders. We would always stop by my bros step dad's house...
