I was watching a show on the History channel once that talked about the ramjet drones that flew faster than the missles that the aircraft were using to try an knock them down. Bruce R |

I was watching a show on the History channel once that talked about the ramjet drones that flew faster than the missiles that the aircraft were using to try an knock them down. That's the AQM-60 "Kingfisher." There's more information at http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-60.html It was a Lockheed missile, and developed out of Lockheed's X-7. designation-systems.net says it was too successful for its own good, and cancelled because it was almost impossible for American SAMs to hit it during tests. It had a top speed of Mach 4.3 and a maximum altitude of 100,000 feet (30,000 meters). --Bill Thompson |
