This project aimed to build a flying saucer-type aircraft to shoot down Soviet bombers in the 1950s. The goal was to create a disc-shaped vehicle that could reach supersonic speeds and altitudes of 100,000 feet.

The estimated cost of the project was over $26 million in today's dollars. Like and Subscribe for more.
