The X-30 National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) was an attempt by the USA to create a viable Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) Vehicle. The result was a program funded by NASA. McDonnell Douglas, Rockwell International and General Dynamics competed to develop technology for a hypersonic air-breathing SSTO vehicle. Quite a historical piece of space history that continues to evolve to this day. This is the predecessor to the SST that I had listed a few years ago. Check out the NASA video posted below for an overview on the X-30.

This unique and large model was crafted for Rockwell Industries and is tagged with a property of NASA US govt Aerospace Education Department sticker underneath. The model is constructed of wood and resin and is painted in gloss blue and white. Much of the paint is chipping and you can see the gray primer underneath the piece. Measures: 36” Long and 17” wide —comes on custom stand.
