  • Nothing like a human bomb drop.

  • What song is that?

  • Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

  • The X-20A Dyna-Soar (Dynamic Soarer) was a single-pilot manned reusable spaceplane, really the earliest American manned space project to result in development contracts. Cancellation in December 1963 came only eight months before drop tests from a B-52 and a first manned flight in 1966.

    It evolved from the German Saenger-Bredt Silverbird intercontinental skip-glide rocket bomber.

  • Nonsense, it can be conclusively proved that the HL 10 was the result of INTELLIGENT DESIGN!

  • Very funny, I am still laughing....

  • Lifting body my ass. I think you and the Germans had it right. That thing was as aerodynamic as a rock skipping across the creek.

    Incidentally, I'm pretty sure the Six Million Dollar Man crashed the one rolling (sideways) across the desert.

    They recovered them both and rebuilt them.....Faster, Stronger, Better.

  • The craft were dropped at speed and elevation. I wonder how fast they would have to be going to leave the deck?

  • Some engineer says it will fly. Wanna fly it... "Sure!" nuts! Thanks for posting.

  • Those look like an absolute terror to fly. I cannot imagine the mix of insanity and guts it took to want to pilot them. O_o

  • At the moment there are 4 people who dislike "progression". Sad.

  • Great video, thanks!

  • The men that flew these designs.....needed a wheelbarrow to carry their balls in!

    True pioneers, these men were.......fearless with lots and lots of guts. Thanks for the video!

  • Its Steve Austin the 6 mlliion dollar man plane !

  • @moneyman10k Something needs to give-perhaps another trip to the Moon, or Mars? Or we start using and pushing technology, like we are capable of...like solar powered "green" commuter jets, or increased hydrogen uses, to power mass fleets of over the road trucks & trains...Something must change in this country, 'cause we are now going backwards with technology and education levels...
