X-4 Bantam Twin Jet History:

The X-4 Bantam is a tailless aircraft prototype manufactured by Northrop Corporation. Two of the prototypes were by Northrop but the first was found to be mechanically unsound and after 10 flights, it was grounded and used to provide parts for the second. The X-4 Bantam's maiden flight was on December 15, 1948.

The Northrop X-4 Bantam was a small twin-jet airplane that had no horizontal tail surfaces, depending instead on combined elevator and aileron control surfaces (called elevons) for control in pitch and roll attitudes. The hope of some aerodynamicists was that eliminating the horizontal tail would also do away with stability problems at transonic speeds resulting from the interaction of supersonic shock waves from the wings and the horizontal stabilizers. The X-4 Bantam has a crew of 1. It has a maximum speed of 640 mph. It incorporates 2 Westinghouse J30 turbojet with 1,600 lbf each.
