[QUOTE="TomS, post: 34529, member: 1484"] This picture appears in Dennis Jenkins' [i]Space Shuttle[/i] with this caption: [quote] One of the most radical advanced X-15 proposals was this delta-wing configuration that was to have been powered by a pair of ventral scramjets. Noteworthy are the canards mounted under the windscreen, which were to be used for trim during transonic and low-supersonic flight, and retracted into the fuselage during high-speed portions of flight (North American Rockwell)[/quote] Sadly, there are no additional details in the text. Edit: The Jenkins book does have a section on the Ames Mach 10 concept, which was not this design. I don't have a scanner, but it's discussed in APR V2N4. [/QUOTE]
