Interstate XBDR : ウィキペディア英語版 | Interstate XBDR
The Interstate XBDR was a design for an assault drone - an early television-guided missile - powered by two jet engines, that was designed by the Interstate Aircraft and Engineering Corporation during the latter stages of the Second World War for use by the United States Navy. Wind tunnel tests of a scale model were conducted, however no full-scale examples of the aircraft were built before the project was cancelled. ==Design== Referred to at the time as an "assault drone", and the only aircraft ever designated in the 'BD' series,〔 the XBDR-1 was designed by Interstate in response to a Navy requirement in late 1943 and early 1944. The aircraft featured a tailless design,〔Parsch 2003〕 and was essentially a flying wing with a small vertical stabiliser. The XBDR-1 was intended to be powered by two Westinghouse 19B axial-flow turbojet engines,〔 which were to be buried in the wing near the wing roots.〔 The planned warload was not detailed, however it was planned that the assault drone would be guided to its target via a television link.〔Grossnick 1997, p. 670.〕
