The Dyna-Soar, designed to be a 35.5-foot piloted reusable space vehicle, had a sharply swept delta 20.4-foot-span wing and a graphite and zirconia composite nose cap and used three retractable struts for landing. Eleven manned flights were to be launched from Cape Canaveral Fla., starting in November 1964. Dyna-Soar's first orbital flight was tentatively scheduled for early 1965. The X-20 reached the mockup stage, however, the U.S. government canceled the program on Dec. 10, 1963, because Dyna-Soar had no viable military mission and was too expensive for a research vehicle. The partially completed prototype and the mockup were scrapped, as well as initial tooling set up for a production line for 10 space planes.BI222235 (2b54141r_rgb)Maximum size:2524px × 3231px (~23 MB)8.4in × 10.7in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1960s-ascending-Conceptual aircraft, designed, but never produced-exteriors-fire-full body views-ground shots-ground to air-high-tech / advanced-historic production status-illustrations-launch sites-launches-military-night-other livery-research/experimental-rockets-smoke-space-spacecraft-stars-takeoffs-text-vintage / retro-X-20 Dyna-SoarRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:X-20 Dyna-Soar
