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. The partially completed X-20 prototype and the mockup were scrapped, as well as initial tooling set up for a production line for 10 space planes.BI44539 (K9180)Maximum size:5768px × 4640px (~76 MB)19.2in × 15.4in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1960s-black-Boeing-Conceptual aircraft, designed, but never produced-copy space-delta wings-full body views-ground shots-interiors-manned spacecraft-military livery-perspective lines-research/experimental-right front views-shine-X-20 Dyna-SoarRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:X-20 Dyna-Soar
