The Northrop HL-10 was one of five heavyweight lifting body designs flown at NASA\'s Flight Research Center (FRC--later Dryden Flight Research Center), Edwards, California, from July 1966 to November 1975 to study and validate the concept of safely maneuvering and landing a low lift-over-drag vehicle designed for reentry from space. It was a NASA design and was built to evaluate \"inverted airfoil\" lifting body and delta planform.After delivery to NASA in January 1966, the HL-10 made her first flight on December 22, 1966, with research pilot Bruce Peterson in the cockpit. Although the XLR-11 rocket engine (same type used in the Bell X-1) was installed, the first 11 drops from the B-52 launch aircraft were unpowered glide flights to assess handling qualities, stability, and control. In the end, the HL-10 was judged to be the best handling of the three original heavy-weight lifting bodies (M2-F2/F3, HL-10, X-24A).The HL-10 was flown 37 times during the lifting body research program and logged the highest altitude and fastest speed in the lifting body program. On February 18, 1970, Air Force test pilot Peter Hoag piloted the HL-10 to Mach 1.86 (1,228 mph). Nine days later, NASA pilot Bill Dana flew the vehicle to 90,030 feet, which became the highest altitude reached in the program.During a typical lifting body flight, the B-52 -- with the research vehicle attached to the pylon mount on the right wing between the fuselage and inboard engine pod -- flew to a height of about 45,000 feet and a launch speed of about 450 mph.Moments after being dropped, the XLR-11 was lit by the pilot. Speed and altitude increased until the engine was shut down by choice or fuel exhaustion, depending upon the individual mission profile. The lifting bodies normally carried enough fuel for about 100 seconds of powered flight and routinely reached altitudes of 50,000 to 80,000 feet and speeds above Mach 1.Following engine shutdown, the pilot maneuvered the vehicle through a simulated return-from-space corridor into a pre-planned approach for a landing on one of the lakebed runways on Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards. A circular approach was used to lose altitude during the landing phase. On the final approach leg, the pilot increased his rate of descent to build up energy. At about 100 feet altitude, a \"flare out\" maneuver dropped air speed to about 200 mph for the landing.Some new and different lessons were learned through the successful flight testing of the HL-10. These lessons, when combined with information from its sister ship, the M2-F2/F3, provided an excellent starting point for designers of future entry vehicles, including the Space purchasing, pay instantly through !&amp;lt;FONT title=\"Pay me securely with any major credit card through !\" height=33 alt=\"Pay me securely with any major credit card through !\" width=88 alt=Visa border=0&amp;gt; &amp;lt;IMG alt=MasterCard border=0&amp;gt; &amp;lt;IMG alt=Discover border=0&amp;gt; &amp;lt;IMG alt=\"American Express\" border=0&amp;gt; &amp;lt;IMG alt=eCheck align=\"center\">
