McDonnell Douglas GRM-29A
The next issue of Aerospace Projects Review (due to go to the printer in
a day or two) has an article on the McD Global Range Mach 29 Aerospace Plane. This was a 1980's single stage to orbit lifting body, but with a rather goofy engine arrangement... three SSME's in the tail, one in the *nose*. It took off like a Harrier in a horizontal attitude, but straight up. The data available on it is a bit sketchy, but what I've got is in here. it's an interesting design. A view of the whole issue is online at: http://up-ship.com/apr/images/v5n2all.jpg -- Scott Lowther, Engineer "Any statement by Edward Wright that starts with 'You seem to think that...' is wrong. Always. It's a law of Usenet, like Godwin's." - Jorge R. Frank, 11 Nov 2002 |
