General (then Major) Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager made a number of test flights in this research plane. The X-4 was designed to test the tailess, or semi-tailess, configuration at transonic speeds of approximately Mach .85. Numerous aerodynamicists had concluded that by doing away with horizontal tail surfaces, transonic aircraft problems caused by the interaction of supersonic airflows from the horizontal tail surfaces and wings would be solved. The model is hand autographed by Gen. Chuck Yeager and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand. Dimensions: Wingspan, 10 1/2" Length, 13 1/4 " 1/32 Scale Item # B10232X3CY .. .. Sorry, no longer available. • All models - UPS ground shipping just $6.95 each to anywhere in the continental U.S.• |
