First flight Dec 10, 1947 at Muroc Dry Lake. Assigned to NACA Flight Test Center, Muroc Army Airfield, CA
as 143 Aug 31, 1951 but not flown. Stored until 1954 when returned to Douglas and modified to air
launched configuration with rocket engine only. in 1954-55 the contractor modified it to an all-rocket air-launch
capability featuring an LR8-RM-6, 4-chamber Reaction Motors engine rated at 6,000 pounds of
thrust at sea level (the Navy designation for the Air Force LR-11 used in the X-1). Flown 123 missions, all but one of its missions as part of the
Douglas Aircraft contractor program to test the airplane's performance. The 123 flights of
NACA 143 served to validate wind-tunnel predictions of Skyrocket performance. Returned to NACA but
only flown once,by NACA research pilot John McKay for familiarization on Sep 17, 1956 and officially retired Mar 1957.
Now at Planes of Fame, Chino, CA.
37974 initially delivered with jet engine only for conventional takeoff mode. First flight Nov 2, 1948 at
Muroc Dry Lake, Assigned to NACA Flight Test Center, Muroc Army Airfield, CA
as 144 Dec 1, 1948. Redesignated 1949 as the High-Speed Flight Research Station (HSFRS),
Edwards AFB, CA. Flown 103 missions. NACA 144 began its flight program with a turbojet power plant.
NACA pilots flew 21 times in this configuration to test airspeed calibrations and to research
longitudinal and lateral stability and control. In the process, during August of 1949 they
encountered pitchup problems. In Jan 1950, Douglas Aircraft Company replaced the turbojet with an
LR-8 rocket engine, and its pilot, William B. Bridgeman, flew the aircraft seven times -- up to
a speed of Mach 1.88 (1.88 times the speed of sound) and an altitude of 79,494 feet (the latter
an unofficial world altitude record at the time, achieved on August 15, 1951). Returned
to NASA. In the rocket configuration, a Navy P2B (Navy version of the B-29) launched the airplane at an altitude
of approximately 30,000 feet after taking off from the ground with the Skyrocket attached
beneath its bomb bay. During Bridgeman's supersonic flights, he encountered a violent rolling
motion known as lateral instability. The NACA engineers studied the behaviour of this aircraft
before beginning their own flight research in the airplane in September 1951. Over the next
couple of years, NACA pilot flew the airplane 20 times to gather data on longitudinal and
lateral stability and control; wing and tail loads; and lift, drag, and buffeting characteristics
at speeds up to Mach 1.878. Reached altitude of 83,235 feet Aug 21, 1953 flown by LtCol Marion Carl.
Reached speed of Mach 2.005 on Nov 20, 1953 flown by A. Scott Crossfield. Last flight Dec 20, 1956.
Donated to National Air and Space Museum
37975 fitted from beginning with both jet and rocket engine. First flight Jan 8, 1949 at Muroc Dry Lake.
Later modified to air-launched configuration. Assigned to NACA Flight Test Center, Muroc Army
Airfield, CA as NACA 145. Flown 87 missions. NACA 145 had completed 21 contractor flights by Douglas Aircraft
pilots in November 1950. In this jet-and-rocket-propelled craft, NACA began the investigation of
pitch up lasting from September 1951 well into the summer of 1953. They flew the Skyrocket
with a variety of wing-fence, wing-slat, and leading-edge chord extension configurations,
performing various maneuvers as well as straight-and-level flying at transonic speeds.
While fences significantly aided recovery from pitch up conditions, leading edge chord
extensions did not, disproving wind-tunnel tests to the contrary. Slats (long, narrow auxiliary
airfoils) in the fully open position eliminated pitch up except in the speed range around
Mach 0.8 to 0.85. In June 1954, NACA began an investigation of the effects of external
stores (bomb shapes and fuel tanks) upon the Skyrocket transonic behaviour, flying the
final mission on August 28, 1956. Now on pedestal at Antelope Valley College, Lancaster, CA
