Muroc Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hello, Here is a scratch-built X-56A MUTT. The X-56A is a small unmanned Flying Wing which was built to test ways to overcome wing flutter. This model was built to be part of the First Flights Wall display at the AFFTC Museum at Edwards AFB. The model was carved from sheet polystyrene and the decals are ALPS printed. The paints are Testors and Tamiya. David Muroc Models Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Muroc Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hello, They built two, and they will soon restart flight testing on the second one. The first one made flights with a normal wing, but crashed on take off when flexible wings were installed. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
