£9.95 HL-10 Over Rogers Dry Lakebed 10 x 8 B/W Glossy NASA Photograph NASA No. E-21088 (70-H-18) 17 November 1969 The HL-10 lifting body is seen here in flight over Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards AFB. After the vehicle's fins were modified following its first flight, the HL-10 proved to be the best handling of the heavy-weight lifting bodies flown at Edwards Air Force Base. The HL-10 flew much better than the M2-F2, and pilots were eager to fly it. This very fine vintage NASA glossy photograph is in near mint condition. |
|
£9.95 HL-10 Over Rogers Dry Lakebed #2 10 x 8 B/W Glossy NASA Photograph NASA No. E-21089 (70-H-19) 17 November 1969 The HL-10 lifting body is seen here in flight over Rogers Dry lakebed. Like the other lifting bodies, the HL-10 made a steep descent toward the lakebed, followed by a high-speed landing. This was due to the vehicle's low lift-over-drag ratio. The first 11 flights of the HL-10 were un-powered, flown to check the vehicle's handling and stability before rocket-powered flights began using the XLR-11 rocket engine. This very fine vintage NASA glossy photograph is in near mint condition.

£6.95 HL-10 First Flight Landing 10 x 8 B/W Glossy NASA Photograph NASA No. E-16207 22 December 1966 The HL-10 lifting body completes its first research flight with a landing on Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards AFB, California, on December 22, 1966. The HL-10 suffered from buffeting and poor control during the flight. Pilot Bruce Peterson was able to make a successful landing despite the severe problems. These were traced to airflow separation from the fins. As a result, the fins were no longer able to stabilize the vehicle. A small reshaping of the fins' leading edges cured the airflow separation, but it was not until March 15, 1968, that the second HL-10 flight occurred. This fine late 1970's reissued glossy NASA photograph is in near mint condition. |

£12.95 HL-10 New Shape 10 x 8 Colour Glossy NASA Photograph NASA No. ECN-1865 March 1968 The HL-10 lifting body suffered from buffeting and poor control during its first flight in December 1966. Pilot Bruce Peterson was able to make a successful landing despite the severe problems. These were traced to airflow separation from the fins. As a result, the fins were no longer able to stabilize the vehicle. A small reshaping of the fins' leading edges cured the airflow separation, but the HL-10 was grounded for 15 monthst.

£9.95 HL-10 Touchdown 10 x 8 Colour Glossy NASA Photograph NASA No. EC-2367 January 1970 In this photo, the HL-10 has touched down on its main landing gear, while the pilot was holding the nose up to slow the vehicle. The F-104 in the background was used as a chase plane. Its pilot would give the HL-10's pilot calls on his altitude above the lakebed as well as warnings about any problems. The NASA F-104s were also used for lifting-body training. With the landing gear extended and flaps lowered, the F-104 could simulate the steep, high-speed descent and landing of a lifting body. This fine NASA colour glossy photograph is in near mint condition. |
