Hi,
The McDonnell Douglas Model-176 was hypersonic spacecraft,but when
I search about it I found a Models of hypersonic aircraft not known,
see the picture,
I take it the rest of the Super-Swift crashed?Seems to remind of just before the millennium...
Another one for the X-24C pile I'd saved back then the links worked@Stargazer has tracked down two documents (from the broken links). God bless his soul.
Presumably because of its densityso the question is : why they use DU?
air data probeWhat was in its nose ?,
Did you know… In July 1969, more than 500 hours of testing were conducted on models of a proposed maneuverable-recoverable reentry spacecraft in wind tunnels at Arnold Air Force Base.
The unmanned space vehicle was designed to reenter the atmosphere at very high speeds and make a conventional “aircraft-type” landing.
The objective of the tests was to obtain force, moment and heat transfer data on model configurations under simulated reentry flight conditions.
Don't have an idea of its utility to the forum when l post this but here is a larger version of the McCall painting from tumblr.Here is the World's Fair Exhibit picture from Dyna-Soar: Hypersonic Strategic Weapons System. Additionally, I'm posting a copy of the Robert McCall painting to illustrate my above comment.
Gotta love those crab hands! When all you have is a pair of scissors, everything looks like a piece of paper... Also, going in on that poor antenna with full gusto with the backpack pushing for full efficiency! But then again, his buddy is giving the lifting body RCS a good workout as well...Don't have an idea of its utility to the forum when l post this but here is a larger version of the McCall painting from tumblr.
