Hi Dynoman. I don't believe that Paul was discussing ISINGLASS at all, except for a few jabs at 'classified' shapes and then it isn't clear what program he 'might' have been talking about, with such references, as MOL was very classified as well. I'm sure there were others as well. Remember...

Why do you need orbital velocity for a spyplane?

...! Do you have the pdf and could you attach it ? Otherwise I should be able to find it with its ID number on the page. I often forget that ISINGLASS got a brief reprieve in the year 1968 - long after Schriever departure and pretty close from the Space Shuttle opening salvos by George Mueller...

what I don't understand quite right with this mash up (?) document: was plasma stealth project KEMPSTER B related in anyway to RHEINBERRY? A. PS) real nice find

EWR VJ 101-D it is. It's a little more information to show than ISINGLASS and it fits in the confines of my book subject. BTW...I'd really like to finish that book but I'm short on all the material needed. In order to create a sample chapter for any prospective publisher I'd have to offer a...

...described as a "small, inexpensive, non-expendable remotely piloted aircraft". This could very well be it (only thing is, it is given as a USAF, not CIA program, but I guess the CIA was never mentioned as a direct contractor, anyway, and used the USAF as a go-between, like they did on ISINGLASS).

No. But the documents do indicate that it was definitely supposed to be manned. They also indicate that it was McD (not General Dynamics). You can see that by downloading the pdf posted earlier in the thread and looking through them and you'll find McD's name, not GD.

That sounds so weird... running an Sanger-Bredt boost glider as an intercept missile?!? "Why are there 3 different programs for the same job?" "Because they're NOT the same job, Congressman." Though it looks like the USN and USAF programs, both being ground strike, could have been combined...

...000 feet, airbreathing. With a Marquardt RJ59 ramjet... also found on Convair FISH that lost to Lockheed A-12. Later the FISH returned as ISINGLASS. X-7, FISH, ISINGLASS, SA-5, A-12 all converge toward airbreathing limits. Long story short: Mach 3.4 or Mach 4.31, 95 000 feet or 106 000...

...as I suspect there were 2 or 3 B-52's they would have needed and they were probably heavily modded. So just a back of the envelope says ISINGLASS was probably not fully fuelled so that it stayed under the 53,000 lb pylon max weight. They probably stripped the B-52 of it's normal bomber role...

...variant is different than the JP fuel and hydrogen peroxide oxidizer of the SERJ, which uses an ejector ramjet. The CIA/NRO documents on Isinglass recommend hydrogen florine for better Isp, but suggests LH2 and LOX to cut costs in half for the propulsion selection. Which is the type of system...

...me too. CONFUSION ITEM No. 2: Why did Bill Rose in SP: Military Space Technology, portray the Incremental Growth Vehicle (IGV) as Project ISINGLASS? It's the IGV. We've discussed it here on this forum before. Scott even posted the AWST article detailing it the other day. Why is Bill Rose...

Level flight and not ballistic trajectory, right?

...of interesting stuff on Copper Canyon, and how it turned into NASP. Also DARPA's Cooper & Tony Dupont - eeeeerhmmm. There are hints of the ISINGLASS / RHEINBERRY turf war of 1963-66 between GD-Convair and McDonnell. Awesome stuff. Feeling excited like a kid on Christmas morning. Is there a...

You forgot to write anything, beside the quote.

AAAH - I see where this is going. ISINGLASS / RHEINBERRY obviously had a XLR-129 (SSME ancestor) stuck into its tail. So no room for a turbojet own exhaust. Except if it is a Harrier-like engine, with the rearward, swivelling nozzles... on the sides. Wow. So you think they picked a BS-100 just...

Don't forget the B-52 uses fuel weight to account for both asymmetrical loading of the carried vehicle as well as keeping the CG within stability limits.

Hey guys, Sorry to go off on a tangent but has there been a thread about Isinglass on here before? Another minor mystery for me right there with the fates of the XF-90. Again, nothing I could really find online besides a mention here or there. But that's it. Maybe somebody could post a link...

The image is not of an HGV model, but of Isinglass. Isinglass was not a GD project. In the late 70s and early 80s DARPA pursued a program to demonstrate an air launched ballistic missile with hypersonic glider for air-to-air. This was the Ballistic Intercept Missile. The reentry vehicle was to...

I nearly made the comment that my post was relevant to yours but not particularly to the actual thread topic edit: having said that it does tie in timewise with the General Dynamics ISINGLASS contracts of '64 - '65
