What an unusual test platform. A B-47 with an experimental engine on its tail.
This was for test purposes only.

Well, that's a weird testing. They had to know there'd by issues with the platform. But they had to try.

The unemployed Engineers from the canceled Arrow Interceptor project were scooped up by NASA.

This engine was intended for this experimental Interceptor but was canceled by the Canadian government because it was too expensive. Luckily, NASA scooped up all these unemployed engineers and the Canadians were responsible for helping put men on the moon.
