I read in Aviation Weekly years ago that these aircraft were highly unstable and difficult to fly. It would seem that too much lift and too little drag are actually a bad thing for flying machines. Sometime in the mid to late 90s engineers designed computers to make all the little in-flight corrections that pilots couldn't. Without computers most of today's military aircraft couldn't stay aloft.
@Mufaso1000 Because of flight computers and Fly-by-Wire the aircraft designs can be unstable and the computers make them flyable. During the F-117 flight testing one of the Elevator/Rudder surfaces broke off and the computer fixed the problem the pilot didn't even notice that it happened, his chase plane pilot needed to tell him. KD
This aircraft showed it was possible to fly wedge shaped aircraft while the x15 showed it was possible to fly back into the atmosphere. The techniques learned from flying those aircraft are used by current shuttle pilots.
its not just the kids in america, believe me. Its all over the world. Kids these days are just getting stupider and stupider. Its almoust as if its planed
@Ivancica31 Ya I know what you mean. I'm 15 and it seem everyone younger than me, along with most people these days think video games teach them more life lessons than school and parents. At least I have friends who still are mature and logical.
@Ivancica31 It is easier to take control over someone with, let's say, shrinken horizons of knowledge. Now that pretty much explains everything, doesn't it?
@Ivancica31 I know... I swear it must be the mercury in the fish or the barium and lead in our skies or the fluoride in our water... I'm a 12 year old kid in America, and since I turned out alright, it probably has to do with all the adults being idiots... My stepdad is fat. His son is fat. He doesn't teach his son how to do ANYTHING. His son is a jack ass to everybody and his father doesn't do anything. I swear this world is gonna die because of all of us becoming idiots...
The reason the X-23B was never adopted as the space shuttle is beacuse it wasn't designed with scietific research in mind, it was combat orientated. during the cold war NASA engineered alot of the current features we see on modern combat aircraft, like radar steath and mach speed and even the US ICBMs were engineered by NASA. Both the F-117 and the B-2 are next generation X-23B essential, the USAF just strapped bombs on the outside! It's just not practical has as the shuttles!
TogieTung, we have much better things for trans-atmospheric flights, I won't talk about. Remember NASA performs mainly the PSP (Public Space Program) Since this program has to be relativly cheap, they have to recycly 40-years old Apollo- technology.
I can't believe NASA didn't adopt the X-24B's design to be the space shuttle replacement , instead they reintroduce the ballistic capsule designs of the Apollo program. If the X-24B were enlarged to the current shuttle & use the two staged launch system like the Seiger spaceplane it would make a more economical & efficient space vehicle.
If they are doing these sort of high tech experiments in the 60s, what on earth must they be doing now?? - Way advanced im sure... would they disclose what they are doing these days?
They aren't doing shit. America isn't turning out domestically trained engineers any more and all the ones of the early space program are dying off. The kids coming out of our schools today are more worried about a good bowl of weed and a beer than a degree in something useful. We used to be # one in tech, but now every thing has to be designed in a foreign country's by foreign kids that we trained in our schools because they have more drive than our kids to succeed.
The X23 was a lifting body experimental aircraft used to test the body without or with small wings as a lifting platform for the design of the Space Shuttle.
This design was being tested for possible use by the space shuttle, but the space shuttle ended up using completely different technology. This is a lifting body, and the shuttle gets almost all of it's lift from it's delta wings.
It's because it is called the x-24B hahaha! It's a modified version of the original X-24A lifting body developed by Nasa. To increase its lift/drag ratio they transformed the rather bulbuous shaped of the A version into a delta shaped craft.
It doesn't have an engine on it most of the time, usually it was just in free-fall, they occasionally put a rocket booster on it. It was a concept for atmospheric reentry (like the space shuttle) loook up "lifting bodies" and these will come up.
Actually the whole lifting body program started as a local project within the Edwards engineers. The budget was miniscule..The X-23B you see here was actually a rebuild of the X-23A nicknamed the "flying potato" Flying characteristics of the earlier lifting bodies was horrendous..This version had excellent handling qualities. Both John manke and Major Mile Love reported it was like flying a T-38 which has great flying qualities
Anyone interested in the subject should read Dale Reed's book, who was instrumental in the lifting body project but whose name is surprisingly missing here. It is an interesting account. NASA website also offers numerous, now declassified, papers which are most interesting.
Good to see that NASA are still getting amazing funding for producing such things like this. I mean it must taken them at least half a day to put the engine on that table and paint it silver!
Well, the highest altitude that thing achieved was something like 70-80,000 feet, which is fairly close to space and her top speed was about 1,600 mph which surprised me. That said, no, she did not technically achieve space flight. Of NASA air-dropped planes, only the X-15 can claim to have entered sub-orbital space.
The ideal behind these lifting bodies was they offer the benefits of both capsule and space plane designs while being more flexible then either.
Some of the private space companies are using lifting body design such as spacedev and planetspace.
NASA really should have choose a lifting design for Orion since it would have solved their recovery problem but the present management at NASA has no imagination.
Membrane556, I won't tell you too much, but for a while, there is no longer a technical need to design a craft according to laws of aeordynamics, that is capable to do trans-atmospheric flights. The waste of chemical energy is tremendous, payload capacity is poor and for reentry, you need delicate tiles made from glass ceramics. However, politics dictate rather ancient solutions - what has particular reasons indeed.
oh yeah... the maximum speed is like 300.000 km\h.... speed of light...... u cant be run faster than the speed of light.... even to do that u need infinit power from some king of source to pass it
cr9527, I hate to tell you, but the maxiumum speed in our spactime is not c=3E8m/s (speed of light) but the speed of gravity. This has indeed a very good physical reason: Gravitation (and its compounds) is the only force that can premeate all Heim-hyperspaces [a MDQT], hence its propagation speed must be equal to c - when coordinate-transformed to the highest possible spacetime n=3652. [c'=c·n²] Remember that's not a crackpot claim, since dark, invisible matter can be detected.
cr9527, that's not exactly accurate. As fore mentioned, I can't tell you details since I work on applied MDQT for my country and I have no urges to look for a room in a prison. Despite EHT is openly available (but not accepted for good political reasons) at least I can tell you, due to non-relativistic Heim lenght contraction s'=s/n², apparent velocity increases with v'=v·n² in n-th Heim-hyperspace. Not worth to mention all the implications. And yes, we can observe it in nature too.
... (2. ff) As all basic forces, gravitation can be seen as a wave AND particles. An electromagnetic wave has photons as exchange particles and gravitation (inlcuding dipolar compounds like gravitomagnetism and gravitoelectricism) has gravitons. The so called Higgs-field (aka Higgs boson) is simply a 'downmapping' [aka projection to use the exact term] of gravitons into 'our' spacetime n=1. Yes, these things sound like SF, but it's the reality our universe couldn't exist without.
have gravitons actually been confirmed or just predicted? Obviously (to those that have studied physics) it seems very likely, and would make a lot of sense, but has their existance been proven?
xPxJxFraserx, that's a rather delicate question, I won't answer. The projection (aka downmap) of these particles from n>1 into 'our' spacetime n=1is called Higg's boson. And where smoke is, there is fire. I hope, you've got your answer.
so speed of gravity is faster then the speed of light??i not so good in fysik thoug and all this ecuacions ar litle complicated for me ??but i do now that wi alredy travel much faster then gravity on earth!!
It's been a while since I've seen it, but there were two vehicles shown in the Steve Austin show opening, one being an HL-10, the other being an M2F2 (which is what crashed in the scene). The vehicle shown in the video above is actually an X-24B (not an X-23B...), which was a sister program with the X-24A. All were part of the lifting body program.
Good eye! Yeah I remember that thing rollin' along the desert in a ball of smoke...but they built him, better, faster & stronger...dee, dee, dee, dee ,dee, deee, deeee, deeee...
Now that's America! The rest of the world is barely waking up in aviation and we were there in the middle of the night! Watch STS-124 for a nice current day view!
they still use that design today, take a closer look at the space shuttle, it acts like a glider with the body of the aircraft as a wing to slow itself down
I asked me, why they don't use low neutronicity pulsed plasma fusion for propulsion. The technology is fully developped by SNL (Sandia Labs) is easily scalable, and could make possible a vehicule with the capabilities of X-302, or F-302 (regular military version of USAF), that can start from earth's surface and even get to mars without refueling. The power density of
p+B (Proton+Boron) fusion reaction completly outperforms chemical fuels.
Yes Sir, I can! Google for the term '+Sandia +"Linear transformer driver"' (without single quotes). Select the first three links. 'Low neutronicity' means, fusion energy output consists mainly of beta particles (=electrons) - and not neutrons. That means, you can create directly electricity (e.g. by a pickup coil) that accelerates ions to rel. v. Since the superheating is explainable by a mutlidimensional quantum theory, you can easily build a drive/power-plant unit without a Fe-wire array. ;-))
Since currently several guys are building small energy sources for cars and home, I warn everybody new on the matter, that magnetically induced hyperspace transits of a of a pulsed plasma is all but a toy. Since Coulomb barrier decreases with inverse square of n (n=nth Heim hyperspace 2,3,4...) wrong plasma discharge parameters cause hard nuclear gamma- and X-ray bremsstrahlung that can kill you. Use the i(t) zero crossing slopes from SNL. That works fine!
what the f888k man, the Coulumb barrier dont decrease invese square in Heim hyperspace only in 3d Euclidian. The barrier can scale at any factor depending on the Levy flight of the electron path. Jesus man, this is kindergarten stuff!
dibbuck, Coulomb barrier rC in our spacetime is ruled by law of Coulomb, where repelling force between nuclei increases with the inverse square if distance. To overcome it, you need either high temps (45..100MK), high kinetic energy and/or pressure. In Heim hyperspace, apparent rC'=rC/n^2, where n=n-th DISCRETE Heim hyperspace 1,2,3,... This theory fits perfectly to Sandia's temperature boosting ICF reactor, that gives a high fusion yield for ridiculous low power input. e- are not involved. ;-))
dibbuck, for more info, read carfully what I've wrote to GeneralBerger and grasp the Sandia papers. I think, this is one of the most important finding, because now we can access all natural force interactions not present in our spacetime (n=1 Heim hyperspace)
Since I'm personally involved into the stuff, I can tell you, this works reproducibly - without the need for a flying carpet and a magic rod.
2. (ff) The only problem Sandia ran it was, that the concept is fully scalable (if one has the know-how). That means nothing less,
that non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is jeopardized, since one can detonate a D+T or even D+D (!) bomb from a wall plug (or a car battery!) and a homemade FCG without any fission detonator. Hence Sandia purged all references to the 'magic' plasma temperature boosting process from its website.
However, Laplace models I(s)/B(s) still show what's going on.
correct... space re-entry and hypersonic travel within the atmosphere. It's basically one stepping stone in the development of the X-33, which was canceled in 2001. But I wouldn't write the X-33 off... It wasn't really canceled but rather shelved until better technology is available.
Some user has made a homage to the band. Just do a quick search here in YouTube, and you'll find "I've Got Levitation" among many other songs that band did.

have gravitons actually been confirmed or just predicted? Obviously (to those that have studied physics) it seems very likely, and would make a lot of sense, but has their existance been proven?
xPxJxFraserx 3 years ago
xPxJxFraserx, that's a rather delicate question, I won't answer. The projection (aka downmap) of these particles from n>1 into 'our' spacetime n=1is called Higg's boson. And where smoke is, there is fire. I hope, you've got your answer.

so speed of gravity is faster then the speed of light??i not so good in fysik thoug and all this ecuacions ar litle complicated for me ??but i do now that wi alredy travel much faster then gravity on earth!!

albapollonia, you can't travel faster than gravity - unless you were a (hypothetized) tachyon.

Mr. Lenard,
Someone sent me similar images about 6 months ago, they're military classified human spaceflight.
Johnson Space Center require large elaborate spacecraft to get them where they need to go.

I'm surprised that some brightspark hasn't considered upscaling the X24B design as an airlauncher for space tourism vehicles.

Definately the X24 since the X23 doesn't have a pilot.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but there were two vehicles shown in the Steve Austin show opening, one being an HL-10, the other being an M2F2 (which is what crashed in the scene). The vehicle shown in the video above is actually an X-24B (not an X-23B...), which was a sister program with the X-24A. All were part of the lifting body program.

they still use that design today, take a closer look at the space shuttle, it acts like a glider with the body of the aircraft as a wing to slow itself down

I asked me, why they don't use low neutronicity pulsed plasma fusion for propulsion. The technology is fully developped by SNL (Sandia Labs) is easily scalable, and could make possible a vehicule with the capabilities of X-302, or F-302 (regular military version of USAF), that can start from earth's surface and even get to mars without refueling. The power density of
p+B (Proton+Boron) fusion reaction completly outperforms chemical fuels.

Could you give me a link that would give me more info on this "low neutronicity pulsed plasma fusion"?
GeneralBerger 3 years ago
Yes Sir, I can! Google for the term '+Sandia +"Linear transformer driver"' (without single quotes). Select the first three links. 'Low neutronicity' means, fusion energy output consists mainly of beta particles (=electrons) - and not neutrons. That means, you can create directly electricity (e.g. by a pickup coil) that accelerates ions to rel. v. Since the superheating is explainable by a mutlidimensional quantum theory, you can easily build a drive/power-plant unit without a Fe-wire array. ;-))
sacha4you 3 years ago
thanks
GeneralBerger 3 years ago
Your welcome.
Since currently several guys are building small energy sources for cars and home, I warn everybody new on the matter, that magnetically induced hyperspace transits of a of a pulsed plasma is all but a toy. Since Coulomb barrier decreases with inverse square of n (n=nth Heim hyperspace 2,3,4...) wrong plasma discharge parameters cause hard nuclear gamma- and X-ray bremsstrahlung that can kill you. Use the i(t) zero crossing slopes from SNL. That works fine!
;-))
sacha4you 3 years ago
what the f888k man, the Coulumb barrier dont decrease invese square in Heim hyperspace only in 3d Euclidian. The barrier can scale at any factor depending on the Levy flight of the electron path. Jesus man, this is kindergarten stuff!
dibbuck 3 years ago
dibbuck, Coulomb barrier rC in our spacetime is ruled by law of Coulomb, where repelling force between nuclei increases with the inverse square if distance. To overcome it, you need either high temps (45..100MK), high kinetic energy and/or pressure. In Heim hyperspace, apparent rC'=rC/n^2, where n=n-th DISCRETE Heim hyperspace 1,2,3,... This theory fits perfectly to Sandia's temperature boosting ICF reactor, that gives a high fusion yield for ridiculous low power input. e- are not involved. ;-))
sacha4you 3 years ago
Oh - *Discrete* Heim Hyperspace, sorry man I was assuming you meant a fractal parametized continuum. My bad
dibbuck 3 years ago
dibbuck, for more info, read carfully what I've wrote to GeneralBerger and grasp the Sandia papers. I think, this is one of the most important finding, because now we can access all natural force interactions not present in our spacetime (n=1 Heim hyperspace)
Since I'm personally involved into the stuff, I can tell you, this works reproducibly - without the need for a flying carpet and a magic rod.
;-))
sacha4you 3 years ago
2. (ff) The only problem Sandia ran it was, that the concept is fully scalable (if one has the know-how). That means nothing less,
that non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is jeopardized, since one can detonate a D+T or even D+D (!) bomb from a wall plug (or a car battery!) and a homemade FCG without any fission detonator. Hence Sandia purged all references to the 'magic' plasma temperature boosting process from its website.
However, Laplace models I(s)/B(s) still show what's going on.

MilesB1975 3 years ago 2
correct... space re-entry and hypersonic travel within the atmosphere. It's basically one stepping stone in the development of the X-33, which was canceled in 2001. But I wouldn't write the X-33 off... It wasn't really canceled but rather shelved until better technology is available.
