Northrop X-4 Bantam
The compact Northrop X-4 "Bantam" research aircraft was built by the Northrop Corporation for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), forerunner to today's NASA, and the United States Air Force (USAF) to test aspects of flight as related to tailless aircraft design. Two prototypes were eventually completed with a first flight recorded on December 15th, 1948. Lacking true tail-area horizontal plane control surfaces, the design instead relied on a combination elevator/aileron arrangement (known as "elevons") to handle the aircraft's pitch and roll actions. The pair of aircraft proved troublesome throughout their test lives for their designs were generally unsound and unstable - recording just ten total flights from the period spanning 1950 to 1953.
One big, weird, happy family.
Some of the unique aircraft tested at the NACA High-Speed Flight Research Station, Edwards AFB, 4 August 1953.

【後編の続きの続編のその後】質志鍾乳洞公園に行ってきたよ！(ツーリングは中止でしたが)
ども。 今日は午後3時から降水確率 90%という悲惨な雨予報が出ている中、 2台の車検業務です。 いつもなら2時頃に出発するのですが、 15時から急激に雨となる様なので 今日はお昼ご飯も食べずに昼一番で 車検に行ってきました。 今日の2台は軽トラックで1度に持ってこれる 大きさの車両では無いので、1台目は軽トラで、 2台目は自走で行くことにしました。 そして１台目がこちら。 ホンダ X-4です。 昨日の記事でFCRが付いていると書きましたが、 完全に書き間違いです。 実際はTMRなのですｗ それはさておき。 お昼一番で来ていますが、前には５台ほど 並んでいるので暫く待機です。 そして私の前の１台が検査レーンへと 入場し、退場するタイミングで私も エンジンを始動させて検査に備えます。 スピードメーター検査、ブレーキ検査を…
