Liberty Lifter was intended to design and build a seaplane with the cargo capacity of a C-17 Globemaster, that could take off ...

Bell will design and build a high-speed VTOL demonstrator for DARPA’s SPRINT program, as Aurora exits the competition.

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has picked Boeing to design and build the XS-1 military space plane, a robotic spacecraft for launching small satellites.

Scott Wierzbanowski, experimental space plane program manager at DARPA, described it as a “launch on demand” kind of service, in which smaller satellites could be taken to a specific orbit ...

DARPA's answer to this crisis was to create a concept for a space plane called the XS-1 that could put satellites into orbit (up to 3,000-lb. or 1,360-kilogram payloads) or service existing ...

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected Bell Textron to build an X-plane demonstrator capable of flying at speeds of up to 450 knots, with the office […] ...

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has reportedly cancelled the “Liberty Lifter” heavy cargo seaplane ...

DARPA wants to create a tiny unmanned plane that could ... hours at a time and vertically take off and land from anywhere in the world that has roughly 320 square feet of clear space. (DARPA) ...

True to DARPA’s nature, it has been a secret program ever since. What we do know is that the X-37B was first dropped from beneath the wing of a mothership in 2006, and it first launched into ...

An XS-1 space plane would also be much faster than NASA's just-retired shuttles. DARPA's pitch to potential designers is that the new machine be capable of hypersonic flight -- in this case, a ...
