Description

the Penny 1C is a liquid-fueled, low-cost air-launched high-altitude supersonic target drone described in the book "the handbook of rockets and guided missiles". It was developed by Bell and Bendix for the U.S. Air Force in the 1958/59 time frame. It was equipped with aft wings, canards and a single vertical fin. No reference to this target is found in any other of my sources, and it is unclear if the design was actually built. However, the general characteristics are rather similar to the Beech Q-12/AQM-37 target, which was developed for a USAF/USN competition beginning in 1959. It's possible that the Penny 1C was an unsuccessful contender in that competition. It's lenght were 6.10 meters and has a wingspan of around 1.63 meters with a diameter of 32 cm, and a weight of 430 kg.
