	M2 F2
		M2 F2 The M2 F2 belongs to the wide family of so called Â“lifting bodiesÂ” wingless aircrafts able to generate lift through and appropriate design of their fuselage.
		The M2 F2 ended his career with an accident (not deadly) and after that it was rebuild as M2 F3.
		M2 F program was launched in 1963 with the M2 F1 it was substantially a wooden glide.

	M2 F3
		M2 F2 The M2 F3 was the M2 F2 rebuild with a third vertical stabilizer and augmented control surfaces.
		The M2 should be intended as a direct precursor of the X 30 NASP (National Aerospace Plane) project, launched by NASA in the early 80Â’s and later abandoned.
		The M2 F3 has reached the maximum height of 21.790 meters during its 16th and last flight.

	The last of Jack Northrop's flying wings, the YRB-9A, flew in 1951.
		Northrop produced a total of 1,052 F-89s in all versions, securing Northrop a position as a major combat aircraft supplier for the Cold War era, even though for a time, they were Northrop's only production aircraft.
		Northrop developed several versions of the plane, which have been used by militaries in 31 countries as well as by the United States.
		Northrop submitted an adaptation of this plane to the Air Force for its Lightweight Fighter competition.

		As for the M2-F2, it was taken back to the Northrop plant in Hawthorne, CA, rebuilt (for $700,000) and redesignated the M2-F3.
		M2-F1 led to the first "heavyweight" Lifting Body, the Northrop M2-F2.
		This improved vehicle featured all-metal construction, provisions for high-speed, high-altitude flight, improved flight-test and data gathering instrumentation, and retractable landing gear.

	Northrop M2-F2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The success of Dryden's M2-F1 program led to NASA's development and construction of two heavyweight lifting bodies based on studies at NASA's Ames and Langley research centers -- the M2-F2 and the HL-10, both built by the Northrop Corporation.

	NASA, Air Force Lifting Bodies
		Northrop Corporation built the HL-10 and M2-F2, the first two of the fleet of "heavy" lifting bodies flown by the NASA Flight Research Center.
		The contract for construction of the HL-10 and the M2-F2 was $1.8 million.
		The HL-10 was one of five heavyweight lifting-body designs flown at NASA's Flight Research Center (FRC--later Dryden Flight Research Center), Edwards, California, from July 1966 to November 1975 to study and validate the concept of safely maneuvering and landing a low lift-over-drag vehicle designed for reentry from space.

		NASA pilots said the M2-F2 had lateral control problems, so when the M2-F2 was rebuilt at Northrop and redesignated the M2-F3, it was modified with an additional third vertical fin -- centered between the tip fins -- to improve control characteristics.
		When the M2-F2 crashed on May 10, 1967, valuable information had already been obtained and was contributing to new designs.

	[No title]
		Nothing came of this proposal, but subsequent rocket powered variants such as the M2-F2, M2-F3, NorthropÂ’s HL-10, MartinÂ’s X-24A & X-24B were successful and were powered by the same Reaction Motors XLR-11 motor as the X-1.
		The M2-F1 is on display at the Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB, California.
		Yeager was now a fan of the lifting body concept and told Bikle that the lifting body handled well and that he would like to have a few jet-powered versions (which at that time had not been built) to use at the ARPS for training future lifting body pilots.

	X-Planes
		In a joint program with the Air Force and Northrop, the NACA conducted most of the flights in this semi-tailless aircraft (which had no horizontal stabilizer).
		Powered by two turbojet engines and featuring swept wings, the X-4 helped demonstrate that tail surfaces are important for proper control effectiveness but that a properly configured semi- tailless airplane was a viable platform for research on dynamic stability and also provided data (from tufts) on airflow anomalies.
		The X-3 failed to achieve the high speeds for which it was designed but pioneered in the use of titanium and contributed to the development of aircraft tire technology.

		Northrop M2-F3, registered N803NA, sits on static display at the May 16, 1973 Edwards AFB Open House next to the HL-10.
		Its sixteen glide flights in its original M2-F2 configuration ran from July 12, 1966 to May 10, 1967.
		The HL-10 survives on a pylon in front of the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB.

		While surgeons reconstructed his face and returned him to active duty, the M2-F2 needed surgery of its own.
		With these lifting-bodies, Northrop would build craft now that were entirely fuselage and lacking wings.
		In addition to this, Northrop had a penchant for oddly-shaped aircraft.

		faster." - Oscar Goldman The "Crash" in the Six Mill Opening Title ----------------------------------------- The aircraft seen crashing in Six Mill's opening was the M2-F2, a "flying body configuration" built by Northrop corporation.
		We have the capability to make the world's first Bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before.
		To the best of my knowledge, it was one of many such craft built for NASA to test various body designs: one of which would eventually end up as the Space Shuttle.

		It is still being produced for front line service as a basic low-cost APC (like the Hercules M16 and Huey), compared with the expensive M2, which serves only with the US Army.

		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.
