18 lis 2023 · X-24C: The Air Force's 50-Year-Old Hypersonic Scramjet Aircraft. That scramjet propulsion concept is still widely considered to be the most likely candidate for hypersonic aircraft to this day....
30 maj 2021 · The Lockheed L-301, also called the X-24C, though this designation was never officially assigned, was an experimental hypersonic aircraft project. As the North American Aviation X-15 program wound down in the mid-1960s, NASA and the USAF considered follow-on hypersonic test aircraft.
9 cze 2024 · Summary and Key Points: The U.S. Air Force and NASA's X-24C program in the 1970s aimed to achieve hypersonic flight using scramjet technology, with speeds over MACH 5.
11 sty 2022 · The decision was made to equip this new “L-301” program’s aircraft, unofficially dubbed the X-24C, with a new LR-105 rocket engine found at the time in the Atlas series of rockets. The LR-105 would launch and accelerate the X-24C to hypersonic speeds, not unlike the rocket engine in the X-15.
Summary: The Lockheed L-301, or X-24C, represents a captivating chapter in aviation history that exemplifies the ambition and technological foresight but also the fiscal constraints of aerospace innovation. Envisioned as an experimental air-breathing hypersonic aircraft, the X-24C was poised to...
Summary and Key Points: The Lockheed X-24C, an ambitious hypersonic aircraft project from the late 1970s, was canceled due to budget constraints, leaving its potential unfulfilled.-Developed by NASA and the USAF's National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility, the X-24C aimed to build on the...
