Constructed of super alloys, with a graphite and zirconia composite nose cap, the X-20, after reentry, was designed to land on a dry lake bed using three retractable struts. Although the X-20 reached the mockup stage and $410 million was spent on its development, on December 10, 1963, the program was canceled by the government. Congress directed that X-20 funding be diverted to the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, which used McDonnell-built Gemini capsules.BI44537 (2B5414-1)Maximum size:4602px × 5576px (~73 MB)15.3in × 18.5in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1960s-black-Boeing-Conceptual aircraft, designed, but never produced-copy space-delta wings-full body views-illustrations-launches-manned spacecraft-military livery-research/experimental-X-20 Dyna-SoarRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:X-20 Dyna-Soar
