Title
Hyper III, M2-F2 & RC Mothership
Full Description
The Remote Controlled research staff from left to right are: Richard
C. Eldredge, Dale Reed, James O. Newman and Bob McDonald.
In support of the M2 lifting body program in the early 1960s, Dale Reed
had built a number of small lifting body shapes and drop tested them
from a radio controlled mothership. By late 1968, "Mother" had made
over 120 launch drops. Next, Reed devised a program in which NASA
research pilot Milt Thompson could remotely pilot "Mother" using an
8-ball attitude indicator from the ground.
