Thank you for that link, just did some browsing, lots of nice pictures. But hardly the entire collection by a long shot. I worked at Ames Research Center in the 70's. There were several models I worked on for the 40x80 wind tunnel that are not pictured, one of which ended up a flying test bed. I don't know the model designation, but it ducted a lot of air over extended flaps. It was a high wing with 4 jet engines. I actually saw the flying vehicle and recognized most everything under the wings related to the ducting and flaps. Couldn't find any pictures of that model nor the flying vehicle. Sounds like the QSRA. http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contri...edijk/7003.htm I saw the DHC-5 at Boeing Field before the conversion, must find slides... Attached is one model I worked on, while in a college work experience program. Don't know who this was for nor the model designation. FWIW, another student and I skinned much of the sides and belly of the fuselage, any sections that were curved in only one plane. Complex curves were foamed and fiberglassed. It's pictured in the 40x80 wind tunnel. I was about to visit an uncle that worked for a defense contractor, and so asked one of the project engineers if I could get a couple pictures of the model and this is one that he provided. Have a few more in color I will try to find time to scan and post. I'd think NASA must have hundreds of thousands of images, if not millions. What a task it would be to really make them -all- available!

YC-14/15 (I can never remember which is which, but one was built by Boeing and the other by McD - that's the one with four engines; the Boeing product had two over-the-wing engines). |

Boeing built the two YC-14s. The McDD YC-15 had more or less normal underwing podded engines. http://www.theaviationzone.com/image...amst/page1.asp Pretty sure Phil is referring to the QSRA that boeing modified from DHC-5 as a proof-of-concept. And yeesh - that Randy's restaurant in the background is still there 32 years later... Bob ^,,^ |
