20 tons of passengers is more than 20 passengers

FYI, the X-15 was made by North American, not McDonnel Douglas.

[baffledanderanged]

If some of these inventions are ever made for the publics use, you better have a deep pocketbook.

[brokensun]

Correct your commentary, the X-15 was not produced by McDonnell-Douglas it was a North American aircraft

[ophiocephalus]

Now, I do love but 9 million That makes me

[stevelipman]

FYI, the Douglas American was X-15'd by North Pole not Jessica Beel and the 7th Heaven was McDonald's favorite happy meal . Im 99% sure that the X-1 is my daily driver .

There was a presentation by a Lockheed rep for airship for our EAA chapter. The presenter said it could carry some major military stuff ( maybe a division). When he stated the SLOW cruising speed, I realized it would need an escort for protection as it flew to Europe. That would be either the Navy from carriers, or the USAF and tankers for hours on end, with fighters dogged down to match the airship speed. When asked about it, the rep gave me a shoulder shrug and wandered off.

[pieteri.duplessis]

If memory serves me right and I'm 99% sure it is, the X15, like the X1, were made by Beel and not McDonald Douglas.

why not fully body lift wide manta ray style air craft

[Leopez]

00:5 I Want FLY with that Macine, IT Looks fun. I Want to see flying Cars on The future. PS that video was awesome. 🔥🔥

[IANTGOTNOHOWWHATCHAMACALLIT]

So that car plane was originally made in America but then they moved manufacturing to China? Should of stayed In America.

Когда денежной массы до хрена, тогда можно придумывать всякую хрень только чтобы на это спускали бабки, а потом трава не рости, извените не получилось. На этом и строится вся западная мысль. И считают что у запада самые передовые технологии, блефффффф да и только.
