What happened to the plane after it ditched into the ocean as planned? Did they try to recover it (successfully?) or did it sink to the bottom? Calling it a plane is a bit of a stretch.  There are (were?) three of these testbed aircraft to be built. The first one was destroyed when the booster rocket veered off course. The second one was flown successfully and "ditched" in the Pacific as planned. None of the aircraft were expected to be recovered as I understand it. They were designed to test the concept of the scramjet and provide engineers all their data via telemetry only. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________
