Martin X-24B
In 1972 the X-24A was stripped to its basic framework
and rebuilt as the X-24B with a more stable configuration. The new
body was delta-shaped and had twice the lifting surface of the X-24A.
On August 5, 1975, the X-24B made the first landing of a lifting
body on a conventional runway.

The X-24B made its 36th and last flight on November 26, 1975.
