The Model 192 game/simulator I teased above is now available for testing. I started a separate thread in the bar, please take a look!

You know....I'm lookin back at the Mach 12 Demo. It's a completely different beast than ISINGLASS. Different purpose, different weight, different engine count. One thing that did occur to me are it's dimensions. They're roughly similar to MODEL 192.

...info on Mitre Corporations evaluation of a CIA/NRO 1969 Advanced Aerodynamic Reconnaissance System aircraft concept to be fielded in FY1971 if developed. This concept was considered after ISINGLASS and would have used similar technologies. Configuration was also being developed by McDonnell.

We may know the same guy. But ISINGLASS cancellation is also close to the point where it was decided to put the A-12s in mothballs and hand the mission to the CIA, which (according to the CIA's history) the agency resisted.

A forum really doesn't work well as an encyclopedia. Take, for example, a thread like the ISINGLASS thread. As knowledge of the project evolved over time the thread evolved and documented the changing knowledge of the program. To learn about ISINGLASS as we understand it now you really have to...

No, the actual 'testing' was never more than cold flow (essentially water) being run through some mocked up components made from other engines (mostly the J2) and never got to combustion or even actual propellant flow testing. The XLR-129 was a pretty much totally 'paper' engine that...

https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/project-isinglass-project-rheinberry.382/page-9#post-599291 There was an early program, called BGRV and using an Atlas F as booster; derived from Alfa Draco in the mid-1960's. Are they related, even loosely ?

*Ahem* ;)

200 miles ?? 360 km - this is freakkin' ISS altitude ! Mach 5 in comparison falls far from orbit (= Mach 26). Maybe they thought about militarizing a X-15 rocketplane; in turn these performances looks like ISINGLASS (ramjets to mach 5) and RHEINBERRY (suborbital, with a rocket).

Along Moonbat's line of thinking - the ISINGLASS/Model 192 seems to be quite far along in the development process to not have been tested to some degree - I wonder if the RL-10-powered "Mach 12 Demonstrator" actually did fly as a proof of concept?

Isinglass document presented by Dwayne Day at nasaspaceflight.com forum: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=18261.msg291469;topicseen#new Seems mostly discussion memos, not much technical stuff... Don't know if there's much new there? It seems I can't attach the pdf file, too...

...was coming on their heels like a bat outta hell with "make no compromise: all-rocket to Mach 20". Yet this doesn't mean that Convair = ISINGLASS and McDonnell = RHEINBERRY. Not at all, the codename change could have came at any different moment. ------------------------ SPECULATIVE MODE...

Lockheed won the Reusable Subsystems Design/Analysis study, covering three military space applications: Project 1: Reusable upper stage Project 2: Manned reusable launch vehicle, 25K lbm payload (ancestor of the Lockheed Star Clipper) Project 3: FDL-influenced manned reusable spaceplane The...

The date assigned to ISINGLASS (or rather, "Model 192") in McDonnell's inhouse chronology is 1964, which corresponds to the first work on the project. If the work you refer to was conducted between 1958 and 1963, it certainly can't be about ISINGLASS. We still have gaps in the McDonnell models...

...192 as well. Was there any further data regarding the launch method? IIRC, air-launch by B-52 has been mentioned before in regards to ISINGLASS. Looking at the expendable booster attached to the vehicle, on pg.2, I take it the CIA was also considering a ground launch option too. I have to...

Where do you usually post these articles?

Thank you. Was a tedious job to extract the pictures first, then paste the website own comments on them. May that inspire you to return to ISINGLASS beyond the Mach 22 design you did a decade ago. :D My favorites are R-3 and B-2.

Well given the trapezoidal cross section, I'd assume a large cylindrical hydrogen tank in the center and two smaller cylindrical oxygen tanks in the low corners. But this might be totally wrong - AFAIK not even good three views of the FDL-7C/D for example have been posted? Is the center fuselage...

There were some advancements in this area in the mid 80s, though not directly connected to ISINGLASS of course. People were still working the problem. By that time though, attention focused to using a radar. What is curious to me is that few of these drawings, and the model, show the two...
