摘要

Approximately one year from now, XCOR Aerospace plans to begin conducting test flights of the Lynx Suborbital Spacecraft from the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, where the company is based. The Lynx, powered by four liquid oxygen and kerosene-fueled engines, is designed to take off and land horizontally as it carries tourists and research pay-loads to the edge of space. Lynx is the third rocket-powered vehicle built by XCOR Aerospace. In 2001, test pilot Dick Rutan conducted the first flight of the single-seat EZ-Rocket, a modified version of the Rutan Long-EZ aircraft designed by his brother, Burt Rutan. XCOR Aerospace engineers replaced the Rutan Long-EZ aircraft's propeller with a liquid-fueled rocket engine. Later, XCOR engineers added a second rocket engine to power the EZ-Racer. In 2007, another XCOR Aerospace vehicle, the X-Racer, flew for the first time. XCOR built the two- seat X-Racer for the Rocket Racing League, an organization based in Orlando, Fla., that seeks to promote rocket plane competitions.
