Martin Marietta X-24 (USA)
   The X-23A was a small unmanned lifting-body research vehicle built to prove the aerodynamic characteristics of the basic design. From it was developed the SV-5P (piloted low-speed test aircraft), designated X-24A by the USAF. This made its first rocket-powered flight on 19 March 1970. In 1972 the X-24A was stripped down and rebuilt as the X-24B, the previous 'bulbous wedge-shaped' fuselage giving way to a new triangular cross-section with the flat-side underneath. The X-24B flew for the first time on 1 August 1973 and made its final powered flight on 23 September 1975.
