1955 Cancelled Johnson Registration Rocket
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Johnson Rocket 185 N90212 (MSN 19) in its prime during the 1960s. The Johnson Rocket 185 was a groundbreaking supersonic research aircraft, designed and built by the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, in the late 1950s. With its distinctive bullet-shaped design and sleek lines, the Rocket 185 was an engineering marvel of its time. The registration number N90212 on this particular aircraft was cancelled on September 2, 1955, but it was later assigned to this specific Johnson Rocket 185. Despite the early registration date, the image suggests that this photograph was taken several years later, likely during the 1960s when the aircraft was in active use for research and development. The Johnson Rocket 185 was a significant step forward in the field of supersonic flight research. It was used to study the effects of supersonic flight on materials, structures, and aerodynamics. The data gathered from this aircraft contributed to the design and development of future supersonic aircraft and spacecraft. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the engineers and scientists who worked on the Johnson Rocket 185 project. It serves as a reminder of the important role that research and development play in advancing technology and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in aviation and space exploration.
