Martin Dyna Soar Cockpit Mockup: 1

First of four photos. Same Martin Dyna Soar design as shown previously. Note that the mockup appears to be made of cardboard… cheesy, but perfectly adequate for preliminary layout purposes. Plus, some little kid may have gotten one hell of a spiffy Space Patrol Rocket to play in after its utility for Martin was finished.. More likely, though, it got torched.

    Didn’t Gurmman mockup the Lunar Lander in cardboard too to show why they wouldn’t need big windows?

    You know, it might be fun to make a PDF version of the cockpit instrument panel and print it onto cardboard. My little boy could have his own X-20 in a cardboard box.

    aside: I love how the X-34b is basically the X-20 without the pilot. All those years, all those wasted dollars, and the Air Force ends up building the DynaSoar anyway. Thank you, Robert NacMamara.

      And then never flying it.

    I think he may have meant the X-37B.
