Titre : M2-F1 in flight being towed by a C-47
Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
The M2-F1 Lifting Body is seen here being towed behind a C-47 at the Flight Research Center (later redesignated the Dryden Flight Research Center), Edwards, California. In this rear view, the M2-F1 is flying above and to one side of the C-47. This was done to avoid wake turbulence from the towplane. Lacking wings, the M2-F1 used an unusual configuration for its control surfaces. It had two rudders on the fins, two elevons (called ''elephant ears'') mounted on the outsides of the fins, and two body flaps on the upper rear fuselage.
