Via CBS News, a (rather uncomfortably presented) description of an HL-10-based lifting body spaceplane (known as the “Yellowbird,” not that you’d be able to guess from this black and white video). Not particularly enlightening about the taxi itself, but kinda interesting in the presentation.

This taxi was also included in the Martin film “Rendezvous in Space.”
