@kirktalon ... With gyros, accelerometers and magnometers and a 8 bit microcontroller you could control this thing flawlessly... It was an X-plane so don't compare it to the harrier.

@kdraper2007 Rolls Royce didn't develop the Pegasus engine. It was developed by Bristol Siddeley in 1957. Rolls Royce didn't acquire Bristol Siddeley until 1966. Bristol Siddeley also produced the Olympus engine for the Concorde and not RR.

@kirktalon Yeah, but this was in 1955...

@kirktalon The 'better idea' came 20 years later.

@mivhoa we gave you such ideas to make you busy ;-)
I think it was more the control system what was of interest instead of the payload to this x13. having a mobile interceptor anywhere would be the goal at that time. god thanks we were not that successful.
