X-20 Dyna-Soar

            The heat shield would be detached prior to landing. The vehicle didn't have wheels, because it wasn't deemed feasible to make tyres that could survive the vehicle heating up during the re-entry. Instead it had skids. Because the prototypes were never completed and the mock-ups that were built don't appear to have an undercarriage, there's little solid information on the intended exact configuration of the gear. There are blueprints, but different versions show different configurations. So, there's a little of my own interpretation in this. There's also some interpretation in the markings. The ones on my model are based on photographs of the mockups, since there is no way to know what the operational vehicle would have looked like.
