North American experimental unmanned X-10 aircraft sitting on runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, United States. It displays conventional tricycle landing gear, canard at nose, and twin tail. It is powered by two Westinghouse J-40 turbojet engines, whose intakes are visible on both sides of the fuselage. Aircraft seen during computer-controlled takeoff roll with fairly steep nose attitude. View of it breaking ground, in about 20 degree nose up attitude, with landing gear still extended. Cloud of dust left on ground behind the aircraft. The X-10 in flight, cleaned up, with gear retracted. A chase plane seen below and behind, briefly. The X-10 coming in for landing with landing gear extended. It touches down in nose high attitude, creating dust trail and slowly lowers to have nose gear contact ground, and a drag chute deployed.
U.S. Air Force, North American X-10, experimental aircraft being towed by a tug, at Edwards Air Force Base, California, United States. Tow tug moves the aircraft in a circle, allowing views from all sides. Of particular note is lack of a cockpit (the aircraft is unmanned), and the presence of a canard at the nose of the aircraft. View of aircraft on takeoff roll, in nose high attitude, raising a dust cloud, as it accelerates. View of X-10, cruising aloft, with canard and landing gear retracted. The minimal delta wing is visible from below. The aircraft, in nose high attitude, with landing gear extended, in flight and then cleaned up and cruising, again.
