Curious design

Looks like it is supposed to be really fast. Would make a great prop in something science fiction.

Curious design

A little bit of Henschel Zitterrochen (supersonic version) ...

Looks like it has a duct around the rocket

SDASM Give this data
88693518 and 88693395 iction ID--Model in high speed wind tunnel 08/14/1964

That was mid 1960s project either by DoD or Convair own initiative

Yes, in the last months or so, SDASM has posted some pictures showing another for me unknown Convair missile project during wind tunnel tests from 1963/1964.
Here two examples:

I can assure you that the reason that this is an unknown Convair missile is because it is a known Ryan RPV - the Model 166 Firebee II; being tested in one of Convair's wind tunnels circa 1963. The forebody shape evolved somewhat away from this configuration.

I was going to remark on how that thing gave off Ryan drone vibes...

I've been beaten to the Ryan refrain.
