“With the X-70, NASA will expand its capacity to conduct experimental flight research, accelerate the testing of emerging technologies, and advance the next generation of American aviation.”
NASA unveiled a new X-plane and the press release never says who built it or what it cost. It carries 2,000 pounds of experiments, cruises at Mach .75 and tops out at 45,000 feet. Those are business jet numbers. First flight is within the next two years. The slogans are ready now.
