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.
18 lis 2023 · The scramjet engine would propel the X-24C at sustained speeds in excess of Mach 6, reaching intended peak speeds that were higher than Mach 8, or more than 6,130 miles per hour.
29 lip 2009 · Lockheed's X-24C vehicle was a refined design. Its baseline design changed between its Phase II and Phase III studies. Mission Profile for the Lockheed X-24C (Lockheed Phase III Study): "A typical profile for the scramjet cruise mission of 40 seconds at Mach 6.6.
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...
The Lockheed X-24C was a 1970s attempt to bring hypersonic speeds – or speeds above Mach 5 – to the United States Air Force via a rocket plus scramjet combo. But in the end, budget...
This rocket engine, burning RP-1 and LOX, was intended to accelerate the X-24C to hypersonic speeds in order to ignite the hydrogen fueled, air breathing ram/scramjet mounted in the belly of the airframe with which it would attain cruise speeds of at least Mach 6 and peak velocities of Mach 8+ at altitudes of 90,000 feet or more.
9 cze 2024 · X-24C - Maybe Too Ambitious. The Air Force preferred first to build a MACH 3 to 5 test vehicle and then push the speeds upward incrementally until reaching hypersonic flight.
