English: A en:radio controlled model aircraft, acting as a miniature mothership, carries aloft a model of the en:X-33. en:Dryden Flight Research Center engineer R. Dale Reed began using model drop tests in the early 1960s to test different en:lifting body shapes. This included the first tests of the M2-F1, and later the M2-F2, Hyper III, and en:X-38 designs. The X-33 model is mounted under the Mothership's right boom. After reaching the desired altitude, the X-33 model was released and glided back to a landing.
