The Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar was a VTOL aircraft developed by Avro Canada as part of a secret U.S. military project carried out in the early years of the Cold War. The Avrocar intended to exploit the Coandă effect to provide lift and thrust from a single “turborotor” blowing exhaust out the rim of the disk-shaped aircraft. In the air, it would have resembled a flying saucer. Originally designed as a fighter-like aircraft capable of very high speeds and altitudes, the project was repeatedly scaled back over time and the U.S. Air Force eventually abandoned it. Development was then taken up by the U.S. Army for a tactical combat aircraft requirement, a sort of high-performance helicopter. In flight testing, the Avrocar proved to have unresolved thrust and stability problems that limited it to a degraded, low-performance flight envelope; subsequently, the project was cancelled in September 1961.

2007 Mastelio kompozitų modelis 348 White Knight Two (WK2) is a quadjet cargo aircraft that is used to lift the SpaceShipTwo spacecraft to release altitude. It was developed by Scaled Composites from 2007 to 2010 as the first stage of Tier 1b, a two-stage to suborbital-space manned launch system. WK2 is based on the successful mothership to SpaceShipOne, White Knight, which itself is based on Proteus. With an “open architecture” design and explicit plans for multi-purpose use, the aircraft could also operate as a zero-g aircraft for passenger training or microgravity science flights, handle missions in high-altitude testing more generally, or be used to launch payloads other than SpaceShipTwo. A study of use of the aircraft as a forest fire water bomber has also been mentioned, one that would utilize a large carbon composite water tank that could be quickly replenished to make repeat runs over fires.

2007 Northrop X-4 Bantam buvo mažo twinjet orlaivio prototipas, kurį 1948 m. pagamino "Northrop Corporation". Jis neturėjo horizontalių uodegos paviršių, priklausomai nuo kombinuotų lifto ir elerono valdymo paviršių (vadinamų elevonais), skirtų valdyti žingsnio ir ritinio padėtį, beveik tiksliai taip, kaip panašaus formato, raketomis varomas Nacistinės Vokietijos "Luftwaffe" "Messerschmitt Me 163". Kai kurie aerodinamikai pasiūlė, kad pašalinus horizontalią uodegą taip pat būtų pašalintos stabilumo problemos važiuojant dideliu greičiu (vadinamas smūgio sustojimu), atsirandančios dėl viršgarsinių smūgio bangų iš sparnų ir horizontalių stabilizatorių sąveikos. Idėja turėjo nuopelnų, tačiau to laiko skrydžio valdymo sistemos neleido X-4 sėkmei.

2007 Bristolio tipo 170 krovininis laivas was a British twin-engine aircraft designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company as both a freighter and airliner. Its best known use was as an air ferry to carry cars and their passengers over relatively short distances. A passenger-only version was also produced, known as the Wayfarer. The Freighter was developed during the Second World War, having attracted official attention from the British Air Ministry, which sought the development of a rugged vehicle capable of carrying various cargoes, including a 3-ton truck. Various changes to the design were made to accommodate their requirements, but being completed too late to participate in the conflict, the majority of sales of the Freighter were to commercial operators. In response to customer demand, an enlarged version to maximise vehicle-carrying capacity, known as the Bristol Superfreighter, was developed.

2007 Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior, more commonly known as the Lockheed 12 or L-12, is an eight-seat, six-passenger all-metal twin-engine transport aircraft of the late 1930s designed for use by small airlines, companies, and wealthy private individuals. A scaled-down version of the Lockheed Model 10 Electra, the Lockheed 12 was not popular as an airliner but was widely used as a corporate and government transport. Several were also used for testing new aviation technologies.

2007 Varpas X-5 buvo pirmasis orlaivis, galintis pakeisti savo sparnų šlavimą skrydžio metu. Jį įkvėpė neišbandytas Vokietijos "Messerschmitt" kompanijos karo laikų P.1101 dizainas. Priešingai nei vokiškas dizainas, kurio sparno šlavimo kampas galėjo būti reguliuojamas tik ant žemės, "Bell" inžinieriai sukūrė elektros variklių sistemą, kad sureguliuotų šlavimą skrydžio metu.

2007 Šiaurės Amerikos X-15 was a hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. The X-15’s official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft, set in October 1967 when William J. Knight flew Mach 6.72 at 102,100 feet (31,120 m), a speed of 4,520 miles per hour (7,274 km/h; 2,021 m/s), has remained unbroken as of January 2019.
