The Rockwell X-30 was an advanced technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP), part of a United States project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner. [1]
This joint effort by NASA, the Department of Defense, and five major contractors explored development of technologies for a new generation of aerospace vehicles for hypersonic cruise in the atmosphere or single-stage-to-orbit using air breathing primary propulsion and horizontal takeoff and landing.
The Rockwell X-30 was a cutting-edge technology demonstrator project developed for the National Aerospace Plane (NASP). The development of this plan was a contributing fragment for a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger airliner project by the United States.
Born in the mid-80s as a design project for a National Aerospace Plane (NASP) that was endorsed by President Ronald Reagan, the Rockwell X-30 is a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) aircraft...
The Rockwell X-30 was an advanced technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP), part of a United States project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner.
American SSTO winged orbital launch vehicle. Air-breathing scramjet single stage to orbit. Second attempt after study of similar proposal in early 1960's. Cancelled due to cost, technical challenges. Superseded by X-33 rocket-powered SSTO.
The Rockwell X-30 was a groundbreaking spaceplane concept that aimed to revolutionize space access with its hypersonic capabilities.
The Rockwell X-30 was an advanced technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP), part of a United States project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner. Started in 1986, it was cancelled in the early 1990s before a prototype was completed, although much development work in ...
The Rockwell X-30 was an advanced technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP), part of a United States project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner.
The Rockwell X-30 was a hypersonic SSTO spaceplane technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space Plane, similar to the role the X-33 played for VentureStar. It was also part of a test program for a passenger liner, called the Orient Express, capable of flight from Washington, DC to Tokyo in two hours.
