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.
The conclusion evolved from the three phased study on the configuration development of the X-24C Hypersonic Research Airplane makes it evident that it is practical to design and build the high performance National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility airplane with today's state of the art within the cost and operational constraints established by NASA.
16 maj 2017 · Acting as a testbed for interchangeable scramjet prototypes the X-24C would be capable of speeds in the range of Mach 6-8, effectively picking up where the X-15A-2 had left off. The programme became known as the National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility (NHFRF) and design studies were undertaken by both Martin Marietta and the famed Lockheed ...
The X-24A would soon emerge, its teardrop shape provided lift while the inclusion of three vertical fins allowed pilots to stabilize the vehicle during a rapid descent. With Gentry at the helm, the X-24A proved that an aircraft could indeed land unpowered after descending from the upper atmosphere.
12 wrz 2013 · Vaguely similar to the X-24B in shape, it would be an all-new rocket powered hypersonic lifting body research vehicle. Air launched from under the wing of a B-52, the X-24C could be equipped with a number of experimental modules, including internal weapons bays (to test the dynamics of weapon ejection at hypersonic speeds) to scramjet engines.
