Foreword by Dr. Roger D. Launius, Former NASA Chief Historian For
the past 75 years, the U.S. government has invested significant
time and money into advanced aerospace research, as evidenced by
its many experimental X-plane aircraft and rockets. NASA's X-Planes
asks a simple question: What have we gained from it all? To answer
this question, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the
X-plane's long history, from the 1946 X-1 to the modern X-60. The
chapters describe not just the technological evolution of these
models, but also the wider story of politics, federal budgets, and
inter-agency rivalries surrounding them. The book is organized into
two sections, with the first covering the operational X-planes that
symbolized the Cold War struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R,
and the second section surveying post-Cold War aircraft and
spacecraft. Featuring dozens of original illustrations of X-plane
cross-sections, in-flight profiles, close-ups, and more, this book
will educate general readers and specialists alike.
