Consolidated Vultee XP - 81 The Consolidated Vultee XP - 81 was a development of the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation to build a single seat , long range escort fighter that combined use of both a turbojet and a turboprop engines . Although promising , the lack of a suitable engine combined with the end of World War II doomed the project . Design and development . Two prototype aircraft were ordered on 11 February 1944 that were designated XP - 81 . The engine selection was an attempt to couple the high - speed capability of the jet engine with the endurance offered by the propeller engine . The XP - 81 was designed to use the General Electric TG - 100 turboprop engine ( later designated XT31 by the US military ) in the nose driving a four - bladed propeller and an GE J33 turbojet in the rear fuselage . The turboprop would be used for normal flight and cruising and the turbojet added for high - speed flight . Operational history . The first XP - 81 ( serial 44 - 91000 ) was completed in January 1945 but because of developmental problems the turboprop engine was not ready for installation . A decision was then made to mount a complete V - 1650 - 7 Merlin engine package from a P - 51D aircraft in place of the turboprop for initial flight tests . This was done in a week and the Merlin - powered XP - 81 was sent to the Muroc airbase where it flew for the first time on 11 February 1945 . During 10 flight test hours , the XP - 81 displayed good handling characteristics except for inadequate directional stability due to the longer forward portion of the fuselage ( this was rectified by enlarging the vertical tail ) . While 13 YP - 81 pre - production aircraft had been ordered , the capture of Guam and Saipan removed the need for long - range , high - speed escort fighters and , then , just before VJ Day the contract was cancelled , after 85 % of the engineering was completed . The YP - 81 was to be essentially the same as the prototype but with a lighter , more powerful GE TG - 110 ( XT41 ) turboprop engine , the wing moved aft 10 inches ( 0 . 25 m ) , and armament of either six . 50 cal ( 12 . 7 mm ) machine guns or six 20 mm cannon . After the XP - 81 was returned to Vultee Field , the TG - 100 turboprop was installed and flight testing resumed , including the first flight by an American turboprop - powered aircraft on 21 December 1945 . However , the turboprop engine was not able to produce its designed power ; producing only the same output as the Merlin ( 1 , 490 hp or 1112 kW ) with the resultant performance limited to that of the Merlin - powered configuration . With the termination of hostilities , the two prototypes continued to be tested until 1947 when they were both consigned to a bombing range as photography targets . Specifications ( XP - 81 ) . " Note : Performance is estimated with " full powered " TG - 100 . Armament is projected only . "
USA - 240 USA - 240 is the second flight of the first Boeing X - 37B , the Orbital Test Vehicle 3 ( X - 37B OTV - 3 ) , an American unmanned robotic vertical - takeoff , horizontal - landing spaceplane . It was launched aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral on 11 December 2012 . It is operating in low Earth orbit . Its mission designation is part of the USA series . The spaceplane is operated by the United States Air Force , which has not revealed the specific objectives of the mission or identity of the mission ' s payload . The Air Force stated only that the , " mission will incorporate the lessons learned during the refurbishment process on OTV - 1 . As the X - 37B program is examining the affordability and reusability of space vehicles , validation through testing is vital to the process . We are excited to see how this vehicle performs on a second flight . " Launch . OTV - 3 , the second mission for the first X - 37B , and the third X - 37B mission overall , was originally scheduled to be launched on 25 October 2012 , but was postponed because of an engine issue with the Atlas V launch vehicle . The X - 37B was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on 11 December 2012 . The classified mission was expected to last several months .
