| Raul Blacksten Downey, CA | The XCG-8 was a slightly larger version of the XCG-7. Designed by Hawley Bowlus, the glider was engineered and built by Douglas Aircraft at their El Segundo, California, plant. Like the XCG-7 before it, the XCG-8 failed stress testing, only not as spectacularly. 04/21/2007 @ 21:26 [ref: 16262] |
