Name that Bird!

X-20

Was the Dyna-Soar - shuttle style rocket-plane with a glide re-entry cancelled in early 60s? When AF was taken off the space program

Eh, the whole thing wasn't anywhere near as crazy as you might think. Notice that by the time the project was canned, most of the problems had already been worked out. Besides, as a general rule, it is mankind's craziest ideas that produce the most impressive results. A heavier-than-air machine, flying on its own power? Only in 1902... :p

No Dad.

The F 106 is the delta dagger. The F 104 is the Starfighter, built by lockheed. (It had the really short wings.)


Also, there is no F-1

The first "F" plane was the F4F Wildcat built by Grumman for the navy in 1940

F-102 - Delta Dagger
F-106 - Delta Dart
There was North American F-1 Fury, and Wildcat was not the first F plane

I'm not entirely sure how you came up with this idea - the F4F Wildcat, as its designation indicates, was the fourth Grumman fighter built for the Navy. So, not only were there three other Grumman fighters before it, but there was also a variety of others - and that's just in the Navy.


MiG-21 is Fishbed. How about the Dragon?
 
How about the Wright brothers' plane that flew at Kitty Hawk North Carolina?
 
The Wright Brothers' plane is the "Flyer". In a few months, it'll be 100 years since the first flight.

What's the name of the rather incredible new Su-47?
 
The Su-47 is the Berkut

A while ago, someone asked about the Dragon, is that the DH84 Dragon?

How's about the MiG-15 (be careful how you answer that :))

Nope, try again. Also, I'm pretty sure that Berkut is Su-37.
