The Boeing X-40A was an experimental vehicle that tested the design and performance of the Boeing X-37, a reusable spaceplane that could launch satellites and perform other missions in orbit. The X-40A was a scaled-down version of the X-37, measuring 21 feet long and 11 feet wide. It had no engine or propulsion system, and was dropped from a helicopter to glide to a runway landing. The X-40A flew seven times between 1998 and 2001, demonstrating the aerodynamics and guidance system of the X-37 concept. The X-40A was a joint project of the U.S. Air Force, NASA and Boeing Phantom Works.
