    Isinglass model

    First time I’ve really posted on the forum. I’ve enjoyed reading and learning a lot though for a few years..The Isinglass thread here really inspired me and now my CAD skills are reasonable-ish I thought I’d have a go at modelling and printing this enigmatic design. I’ve basically tried to...

    Model 192 ISINGLASS simulator/game

    ...some 3D modeling of hypersonic airplane designs over the years, but recently I've also been working on a simple simulator/game of Model 192 ISINGLASS. Though I'm calling it the Advanced Aerodynamic Reconnaissance System here, referring to the ISINGLASS follow-on studies from around 1969-1970...

    Was Isinglass designed to be *so* fast?

    I think that JANE and ISINGLASS were different time periods. This document dates from 1959. ISINGLASS was mid-1960s.

    Here is the ISINGLASS project aircraft, via the CIA Project ISINGLASS Review document date 1965. Released via FOIA. Included is a reconnaissance version of the Model 122. The ISINGLASS vehicle was being developed as a manned and unmanned aircraft with the CIA favoring a manned version that would...

    ...F from Vandenberg it made a rocket-glide flight as far as Johnston & Wake islands in the Pacific. That's 5000 miles, which evenly matches ISINGLASS planned range. The date is also a perfect match. McDonnell ISINGLASS proposals started in March 1965 and died in March 1967 (see "ISINGLASS...

    Some years ago it was a federal offense just to speak or write Isinglass! Absolutely. One was a rocket boosted boost glide with circumferential glide range (about 22,500 ft/sec) and the other a Mach 12 cruiser. A model out of the past.

    Quellish, I don't know if Isinglass has the same cooling, but a document that has been circulated mentions GRM-29A as a water wick design (reducing weight of the TPS by 50% over a proposed "Advanced RSI"). Interesting to note that the chart representing ISINGLASS vehicle evolution titled...

    Very interesting... XLR-129 was SSME ancestor and even early contender, plus ISINGLASS engine. So these two were related ? does this mean that ISINGLASS and FDL-5MA were related, too ? ISINGLASS also produced some hardware rather than paperware, since some kind of test article was build. Any...

    I think Schriever's involvement in pushing ISINGLASS was more direct (i.e. not simply working on Forecast). I first learned about ISINGLASS and RHEINBERRY when I had lunch with a former senior CIA official in 1996 and he mentioned both names. He said that CIA was only moderately interested in...

    Bouncing back on Low Observable's comments (ISINGLASS stuff) In the mid-late 1960s, Lockheed completed for the AFRPL a small shuttle study based on the FDL-5 configuration. Much was advertised, and the whole thing became known as MRS. These shots come from a confidential report issued in 1970...

    Does your source know if there's any relation between Isinglass and the GRM-29A?
