Reseña del libro "The X Planes (en Inglés)"
Why a nation would build aircraft that are never meant to enter service is a mystery. This introduction sets out the book's central idea: the X-planes are America's way of buying knowledge before it buys the fleets. It previews the eighty-year story, from Chuck Yeager's flight past Mach 1 in 1947 to NASA's X-59 approaching the tests that could reopen the skies over land to supersonic travel, and introduces the secret spaceplane that has spent more than eleven years in orbit. What separates an X-plane from a prototype? It defines the X-plane as a research vehicle built in ones and twos to answer a focused technical question, and explains why accepted risk, very small numbers, and borrowed parts from existing aircraft its defining traits are. It uses for example, NASA's own insistence that the X-66A was a research airplane, not a prototype, to show how seriously the distinction is taken. So read on .... It is very interesting...
