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.BI44535 (2A143012)Maximum size:2912px × 2272px (~18 MB)9.7in × 7.5in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1960s-black-Boeing-Conceptual aircraft, designed, but never produced-copy space-delta wings-full body views-ground shots-indoors-left side views-manned spacecraft-military livery-nobody-perspective lines-research/experimental-shine-wings-X-20 Dyna-SoarRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:X-20 Dyna-Soar
