The F5D-1 Skylancer had a wing planform very similar to that projected for Dyna-Soar; NASA Flight Research pilot Neil Armstrong recognized that the Skylancer could be used to study Dyna-Soar abort procedures.. and a chase for the lifting bodies until 1970. In May 1970 the Douglas F5D-1 Skylancer (NASA 802) was retired and donated to the Neil.

The Douglas F5D Skylancer was a development of the F4D Skyray for the US Navy. It was based on the all-weather variant of the F4D, the F4D-2N. Because the differences to the F4D became greater, it was realized that the F5D wasn't a variant of the F4D anymore, so that the aircraft was renamed to.

This Douglas F5D Skylancer was one of four originally constructed and is the only example still in existence. It was flown by Neil A. Armstrong from September 1960 to September 1962 to simulate the flight characteristics of the space vehicle planned for use in Project Dyna-Soar. The Dyna-Soar program called for the launch of a winged craft which could re-enter the atmosphere and glide to a.

The Douglas Aircraft Company built four F5D-1 Skylancers. They were built for the Navy as an all-weather fighter interceptor that never made production. The four experimental aircraft were developed with the same basic airframe as the Douglas F4D Skyray, but because of increasing modifications were re-designated F5D-1s before the craft ever flew.

Since the 13th century Tuscany had played a leading role in Italian and European glassware production. Starting from Medicean times, the Tuscan master glassmakers specialised in producing not only refined artistic glassware, but also sophisticated instruments for pharmaceutical use and scientific experiments. Glass is a solid amorphous material.

The Douglas F5D Skylancer was a development of the F4D Skyray jet fighter for the United States Navy. Starting out as the F4D-2N, an all-weather version of the Skyray, the design was soon modified to take full advantage of the extra thrust of the Pratt & Whitney J57 eventually fitted to the Skyray instead of the Westinghouse J40 originally planned.
