Black and white stock photo of a M2-F1 lifting body being towed behind a C-47 at the Flight Research Center (later redesignated the Dryden Flight Research Center), Edwards, California, January 1st 1964. The wingless, lifting body aircraft design was initially conceived as a means of landing an aircraft horizontally after atmospheric re-entry. The absence of wings would make the extreme heat of re-entry less damaging to the vehicle. Photo Credit: NASA [0003-0703-1500-0444] by 0003
