"As promising as this aircraft appeared, it would never take to the air. It was, however, tested In the NASA Ames wind tunnel during 1962. The reason it didn't move into a powered flight test stage is not known."
I bet I do......inter-service rivalry. Was the death nail for many a promising project. Shame, it was, well at the end of the day, 45 years ahead of it's time.
