A (probably Northrop) artists impression of the M2-21 lifting body gliding in to a landing. As shown here, it turned out to be dangerously prone to rolling, which led to a spectacular crash (which was seen in the opening credits of “The Six Million Dollar Man”). Interestingly, even thought the craft tumbled down the runway, it was structurally intact enough to be rebuilt as the M2-F3, which added a central dorsal stabilizer to increase roll authority.
