Visit the Martin X-24 A and B in the Space Gallery! This aircraft represents the Martin (now Lockheed Martin) X-24A, which the U.S. Air Force and NASA flew to study flight characteristics and maneuverability of “lifting bodies.” A lifting body is a fixed-wing air or spacecraft -- such as the space shuttle -- in which the body itself produces lift. The X-24A paved the way for the space shuttle by showing that a lifting body could glide through the atmosphere and land on Earth like an airplane. X-

The Martin X-24B first glided from a B-52 at 45,000 feet on August 1, 1973 at Edwards AFB. Modified from X-24A into flat-bottom double-delta shape, it hit 1,164 mph and 74,100 feet across flights. Proved unpowered runway landings possible and shaped Space Shuttle reentry. 🫡
