Higher, Faster, Stronger: 1950s Experimental Aircraft
<img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Hiller_X18_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: U.S. Air Force<p>The 1950s was the decade of the test pilot and the experimental aircraft, as aviation technology turned to the jet engine and pushed its limits in both speed and endurance. With the world divided in Cold War, the stakes were high. Jet aircraft dominated both U.S. and Soviet arsenals and the data returned by subsonic and supersonic test flights had implications for the coming space race as well. </p> <p>A number of aviation companies turned out experimental aircraft, primarily for the armed forces. The pilots who flew them measured success in ways their predecessors could only dream of. They set records for speed and altitude that were unimaginable only a few years earlier, piloting aircraft that were volatile, unpredictable and often flat-out dangerous. When the time came to select astronauts for the nascent U.S. space program, it's not surprising that NASA recruiters turned to their ranks seeking the guys with the right stuff. </p> <p><h3>Hiller X-18</h3></p> <p>The X-18 was an experimental cargo-transport aircraft designed to be the first testbed for tilt-wing and STOVL (short takeoff and vertical landing) technology. The Hiller Aircraft Corporation began design work in 1955 and received a manufacturing contract and funding from the Air Force, resulting in the only X-18 ever produced.</p> <img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Bell_X2_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: NASA<p>The <a href="http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/07/dayintech_0723">Bell X-2 Starbuster</a> was built to investigate flight characteristics in the Mach 2-3 range. This 1952 photograph shows an X-2 with a collapsed nose landing gear after a rough landing on its first glide flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The aircraft pitched and slid along its main skid, causing the right wingtip bumper to hit the ground and break off. The nose wheel collapsed upon making contact with the ground. </p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Bell_X5_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: NASA<p>A composite photograph showing the Bell X-5's variable-sweep wing.</p> <p>The Bell X-5 was the first aircraft capable of changing the sweep of its wings in flight. It was inspired by the untested wartime P.1101 design of Germany's Messerschmitt Company. The German design, however, could only be adjusted on the ground. Bell engineers devised a system of electric motors to adjust the sweep in flight.</p> <img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Bell_X14_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: NASA<p>The Bell X-14 was an experimental aircraft flown during the 1950s. It was built to demonstrate unorthodox maneuverability, including vertical takeoff, hovering ability, transition to forward flight and vertical landing.</p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Douglas_X3_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: NASA<p>The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was a 1950s experimental jet aircraft with a slender fuselage and a long, tapered nose, manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Its primary mission was to investigate the design features of an aircraft suitable for sustained supersonic speeds, which included the first use of titanium in major airframe components. It was, however, seriously underpowered for its purpose and could not even exceed Mach 1 in level flight.</p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/inflatoplane_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: U.S. Army<p>The Goodyear Inflatoplane was an experimental aircraft made by the Goodyear Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The Inflatoplane was roughly equivalent to the commercial Piper Cub. Although a capable enough aircraft, the Inflatoplane project was discontinued after the Army was unable to find a valid military use and remarked, unkindly perhaps, that it "could be brought down by a well-aimed bow and arrow." </p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Ryan_X13_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: U.S. Air Force<p>The Ryan X-13A-RY Vertijet, Ryan Model 69, was another vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. This one was used by the Air Force.</p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Vertol_VZ_2_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: NASA<p>The Vertol (later Boeing Vertol) VZ-2 (or Model 76) was designed in 1957 to investigate the tilt-wing approach to vertical takeoff and landing. The aircraft had a fuselage of tubular framework (originally uncovered) and accommodation for its pilot in a helicopter-like bubble canopy. The T-tail incorporated small ducted fans to act as thrusters for greater control at low speeds.</p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/Vz1_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: U.S. Army<p>The Hiller VZ-1 Pawnee was a unique, direct-lift rotor aircraft, using a counter-rotating ducted fan inside a platform carrying a single pilot. The craft, which first appeared in 1953, was maneuvered by the pilot shifting his body weight to tilt the platform in the desired direction. </p><img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/X_15_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: U.S. Air Force<p>The North American X-15 rocket-powered aircraft was part of the USAF/NASA/USN X-series of experimental aircraft, begun with the Bell X-1. The X-15 set numerous speed and altitude records in the early 1960s, reaching the edge of space and bringing back valuable data that was used in the designs of aircraft and spacecraft. The altitudes reached by the X-15 remained unsurpassed by any piloted aircraft (except the space shuttle) until the third space flight of SpaceShipOne in 2004.</p> <img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/07/gallery_experimental_50s_aircraft/X7_t.jpg'></img>: Photo: U.S. Air Force <p>The Lockheed X-7 (dubbed the "Flying Stove Pipe") was an unmanned testbed for ramjet engines and missile-guidance technology. It was carried aloft by a B-29 or B-50 Superfortress carrier aircraft. The booster ignited after launch and propelled the vehicle to a speed of 1,000 mph (1,625 km/h). The booster was then jettisoned, and the underslung ramjet took over from that point. The X-7 eventually returned to Earth, its descent slowed by parachute. A maximum speed of 2,881 mph (4,640 km/h, or Mach 4.31) was attained, setting a record for fastest air-breathing aircraft.

Tackling al Qaeda Where It Thrives &mdash; Online
<!-- pageType= magazinesmall slug= st_essay section= culture subsection= culturereviews headline= Tackling al Qaeda Where It Thrives&mdash; Online authorName= Jonathan Stevenson creditType= photo credit= Mauricio Alejo --> <p><strong>During the Cold War</strong>, each side had a frighteningly effective deterrent against nuclear first strikes: Threaten to launch an apocalyptic nuclear retaliation. The strategy &mdash; aptly named MAD, for mutual assured destruction &mdash; paradoxically cemented peace. Such "thinking about the unthinkable" still works well against Russia, China, and North Korea and likely would even deter Iran. But it obviously has little effect on Islamist terrorists.</p> <p>They have no state to protect and pose no threat warranting nuclear payback. They can't build a hydrogen bomb, and even a crude Hiroshima-style fission bomb would be a technological stretch. So brandishing the vast US military arsenal over al Qaeda is a little like holding a .44 Magnum on a buzzing mosquito: It won't discourage the bug from drawing blood. After seven years of wishing al Qaeda was more like the Soviet Union, it's time US antiterrorism experts muster the same creativity that the great nuclear strategists marshaled to stave off Armageddon.</p> <p>When it comes to military tactics, Osama bin Laden is hardly an innovator. The most he and his minions can do is improvise with old techniques, like using a hijacked plane as a cruise missile. Yet jihadists are righteously wired. They have turned the Net into what Israeli expert Reuven Paz calls an "open university for Jihad studies," covering everything from indoctrination to DIY car bombs.</p> <p>America's current counterterrorism measures can do no more than tenuously contain a threat whose radical ideology spreads like a virus through cyberspace. We should be launching our counterattack on their turf &mdash; online.</p> <p>The problem is that our ham-fisted policies, centering on a reckless war of choice and forced democratization, have eviscerated US public relations efforts. So Washington leads its Web campaigns on tiptoe. The Pentagon has begun launching foreign-language news sites to counter jihadist propaganda, but their sponsorship is intentionally obscure. The name of the site for Iraq (Mawtani.com) references the Iraqi national anthem, and its DoD provenance is revealed only when you click on the About link. These kinds of unattributed information ops will never create a decisively positive view of the West.</p> <p>Whoever wins the White House in November should take the opportunity to give US foreign policy a makeover, which would allow us to emerge from the cybercloset. From there, the path is clear: harness the Net's unique combination of community and privacy to shape the debate within Islam about the best mechanisms for political change. A new tone in Washington could make moderate Muslims less averse to linkages with the US, which might in turn quietly provide support for anti-jihadist clerics &mdash; like Abdul Haqq Baker of the Brixton mosque in London &mdash; encouraging them to speak up in the blogosphere.</p> <p>But here's where the creative thinking can really kick in: A bolder strategy, driven by ideas as counterintuitive and ostensibly distasteful as MAD, should also be deployed in cyberspace. US-sponsored Web sites need to acknowledge that radicalism remains highly appealing &mdash; thanks in part to the Bush administration &mdash; and, unthinkable as it may sound, we'd be well advised to manifest greater tolerance for radical Muslims.</p> <p>Of course, no official US site should sing the praises of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood. But recognizing that such organizations have gained some legitimacy by participating in nonviolent politics would signal to potential recruits that there's an effective and honorable third way between capitulation and terrorism.</p> <p>Muslims seem increasingly receptive to such efforts. Polls indicate that only 10 percent of Saudis view al Qaeda favorably and that in Indonesia, Lebanon, and Pakistan, support for suicide bombings has dropped dramatically. Showing jihadists an alternate path to a stake in a functioning government &mdash; as opposed to the chaos that currently reigns &mdash; could make them easier to deter and influence. But more immediately, it might keep some of them from clicking on the link to that build-your-own IED site.</p> <p><cite>Jonathan Stevenson</cite> (<a href="mailto:jhs.wired@gmail.com">jhs.wired@gmail.com</a>) <cite>is a professor of strategic studies at the US Naval War College.
