Called the X-4, it is a batshaped little (20 ft. long) craft with two jet engines and broad, backswept wings (see cut). No entry in the supersonic sweepstakes, the X-4 was designed in the belief that subsonic speeds will still be the practical concern of aviation for many years. It will be used for research at speeds of about 650 m.p.h...
