Northrop HL-10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Northrop Corporation built the HL-10 and Northrop M2-F2, the first two of the fleet of "heavy" lifting bodies flown by the NASA Flight Research Center. "HL" stands for horizontal landing, and "10" refers to the tenth design studied by engineers at NASA's Langley Research Center, The contract for construction of the HL-10 and the M2-F2 was $1.8 million. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/HL-10

HL 10 HL 10 has reached 27.524 meters during its 35th flight. HL 10 could be intended as direct precursor of the X 33 elaborated by NASA during 90’s and soon after abandoned. The HL 10 revealed as one of the most skilled among the lifting bodies and it had represented the configuration that NASA thought to be the most likely for a manned spacecraft. www.marscenter.it /eng/veicolinavettehl10.htm

Northrop M2-F2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "HL" comes from "horizontal landing" and 10 is for the tenth lifting body model to be investigated by Langley. On May 10, 1967, during the sixteenth glide flight leading up to powered flight, a landing accident severely damaged the vehicle and seriously injured the NASA pilot, Bruce Peterson. The M2-F2's 16th glide flight, was scheduled to be the last one before the powered flights began. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Northrop_M2-F2

HL-20 The "HL" designation stands for horizontal lander, and "20" reflected Langley's long-term involvement with the lifting body concept, which included the Northrop HL-10. These design changes and subsystem simplifications, along with the adoption of aircraft maintenance philosophies, could reduce the HL-20 processing man-hours to less than 10 percent of that used for the Space Shuttle Orbiter. The thermal protection system would be similar to the Space Shuttle's, but the much smaller size of the HL-20 would result in major reductions in inspection and maintenance times. www.astronautix.com /craft/hl20.htm

Unreal Aircraft - Weird Wings - De Havilland DH.108 On April 12, 1948, the aircraft set a new 100 km (62.1 mile) closed circuit speed record of 605.23 mph (974 km/h), flown by John Derry, and it was certain that it could better the top speed of the preceding aircraft. Fifteen weeks later, a Russian Lavochkin La-176 broke Mach 1.0, these two claiming to be the first turbojets to break the sound barrier, although that speed had previously been exceeded by both the rocket-powered Bell X-1 (Mach 1.46) and the mixed power Douglas Skyrocket. On September 9, 1948, again flown by John Derry, the aircraft reached Mach 1.0 in a dive between 40,000 and 30,000 ft. (12192 m to 9144 m) without any buffetting or instability, only some tightening of controls. www.unrealaircraft.com /wings/dh108.php

sh: History Of Aviation - 50 of the greatest aircraft in the history of flight 50 RORTHROP HL-IO The Northrop HL-10 is one of a class of experimental aircraft, known as lifting bodies because they have no orthodox wings. It weighs 180 tons and i s powered by three Rolls-Royce RB.21 1 turbofans which generate a combined thrust of over 50 tons, though they are significantly quieter than previous engines of much lower power. They were built for America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration to provide information on the type of craft which will eventually fly men between Earth and space. www.whom.co.uk /squelch/bb_aviate.htm

The Boeing AH-64 Apache A separate competition was conducted for the sensor and targeting suite for the AAH, with Martin Marietta and Northrop submitting proposals in November 1976. They could operate in conjunction with "forward air controllers (FACs)" on the ground or in the air that spotted targets for the gunships, and cooperate with Air Force Fairchild A-10 "Warthog" tank-buster aircraft. An initial production order for 11 "AH-64A Apache" attack helicopters was finally issued on 26 March 1982, with a follow-on order for 48 more machines delayed until the government and Hughes could work out some differences. www.vectorsite.net /avah64.html

M-2 (lifting body) After 16 flights, the M2-F2 was involved in a crash, on May 10, 1967, from which NASA test pilot Bruce Peterson was lucky to escape with his life. This dramatic accident has been replayed many times on television as the opening sequence to The Six Million Dollar Man. The vehicle was repaired in the wake of the crash, a center tail fin added to improve stability, and the modified craft, renamed the M2-F3, used to carry out a further 27 flights in 1967-72. The resulting data on aerodynamic performance during reentry was crucial for the design of the Space Shuttle Orbiter. www.daviddarling.info /encyclopedia/M/M-2.html

Northrop HL-10 Lifting body With the success of the M2-F1 program, which led to NASA's development of two heavyweight, powered lifting bodies, the Northrop M2-F2 and HL-10. It was designed to demonstrate the ability of pilots to maneuver in the atmosphere, and safety landing after reentry from space. First powerless glide flight was drop launched from B-52 in Jan 1966, and then modified it for powered flight started from Dec 1966. www.anigrand.com /AA2014hl-10.html

Antelope Valley Press Mach Busters HL-10 on a stick The HL-10, a wingless "lifting body" developed by NASA researchers and built by Northrop, occupies an honored place outside NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center headquarters at Edwards. The HL-10 was to have been displayed by the Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles, but somebody there dropped it. The fastest and highest-flying of the lifting-body aircraft series, the HL-10 was flown 37 times between 1966 and 1975. www.avpress.com /machbusters/hl10.sht
