60th Anniversary Commemoration Logo

60th Anniversary Commemoration Logo. Image is 4x4 inches @ 300 ppi. The logo was developed to capture the theme of the AF 60th Anniversary -“Heritage to Horizons: Commemorating 60 Years of Air and Space Power”. The early release of this logo is intended for planning purposes in preparation for the kick off in Oct '06. The official release/use of the AF 60th logo will begin October 14, 2006 by order of the CSAF. Use of the logo is generally unrestricted within the Air Force and may/should be used on a variety of items including: Letterhead, Briefings, Folders and Sales Promotional Items (Stickers, Shirts, Mugs, Patches, Coins…) The Air Force retains trademark rights to the LOGO. If anyone outside the AF wants to use the logo contact Mr. Harry Lupuloff, via email at Harry.Lupuloff@pentagon.af.mil or call 703-588-5090.

YF-12A Blackbird

YF-12A to withstand skin temperatures of more than 500 degrees Fahrenheit (generated by air friction), 93 percent of its structural weight is made up of titanium alloys. The aircraft also is coated with a special black paint that helps radiate heat from its skin. All aircraft components were developed especially for the environment of sustained Mach 3+ cruise. May 1, 1965. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Convair XF-92A

XF-92A investigated the behavior of the tailless delta wing. All of these aircraft were successful in that they demonstrated both favorable as well as adverse behaviors. The XF-92A perhaps had the most influence on future high-speed designs. It was flown by Air Force test pilots on October 14, 1953. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

XF-91 Thunderceptor

XF-91 high-speed experimental interceptor, rocket-powered combat-type to fly faster than the speed of sound, unusual design features--taper wing, high angle of attack for takeoff, landing and low angle of attack for high-speed flight, landing gear that retracted outward with the tandam wheels and a rocket engine that augmented the standard jet engine to provide an outstanding rate of climb. May 9, 1949. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

XB-70A Valkyrie

5{XB-70A world's most exotic airplanes, was conceived for the Strategic Air Command as a high-altitude bomber that could fly three times the speed of sound (Mach 3). made its initial flight on September 21, 1964. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Grumman X-29

The X-29, during its 26th flight, this aircraft became the world's first forward-swept wing (FSW) aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in level flight. December 13, 1985. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Grumman X-29

The X-29 was built to explore state-of-the-art technologies in aircraft design. The most easily identified of these, the forward-swept wing (FSW) was combined with advanced materials, a forward mounted elevator (canard) and an electrical flight control system. Made its initial flight on December 14, 1984. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Martin X-24B

The flight plan for the X-24B. After being carried to about 45,000 feet (13,680 meters) altitude by a B-52, the X-24B was released. Following ignition and burnout of the rocket engine, the pilot guided the lifting body to a glide landing. On August 5, 1975, the X-24B made the first landing of a lifting body on a conventional runway. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Martin X-24B

In 1972, the X-24B with a more stable external configuration designed by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory. The new body was delta-shaped and had twice the lifting surface of the X-24A. Testing program were to explore handling qualities of the wingless configuration for extended near-earth flight and for conventional runway approaches and landings. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Martin X-24A

X-24A lifting bodies, a joint NASA/USAF project, was designed to investigate flight characteristics within the atmosphere from high altitude supersonic speeds to landing. The X-24A launched into space by rocket boosters to ferry crews and supplies to space stations. Upon reentry into the atmosphere, they can be maneuvered to a landing site. First powered flight March 1970. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

North American X-15A

X-15A, designed to provide data on material and human factors of high-speed, high-altitude flight, made the first manned probes into the lower edges of space. It was built for speeds of up to 4,000 mph and altitudes of 50 miles, but these goals were exceeded on numerous occasions.The first powered X-15 flight was made on Sept. 17. 1959.

X-15

X-15, designed to achieve hypersonic speeds--speeds in excess of Mach 5--and to climb more than 50 miles above the earth's surface, the dart-like X-15 became the first aircraft to actually be piloted into near space. The first powered X-15 flight was made on Sept. 17. 1959. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Bell X-5

X-5 the first high-performance aircraft to feature a variable, in-flight wingsweep capability. With the ability to sweep its wings from 20-degrees, for optimum low-speed handling qualities, all the way to 60-degrees for maximum high-speed performance. The first X-5 flight was made on June 20, 1951. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA

Northrop X-4

X-4 was developed for the study of flight characteristics of swept wing semitailless aircraft at transonic speeds (about Mach .85). X-4 was turned over to the Air Force and then to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in May 1950. (b/w), Graphic courtesy of NASA
