Bomarc A

Bomarc A

The Bomarc A used a liquid propellant rocket booster engine and two ramjets designed to achieve a range of 125 miles. The missile measured 46.75 feet in length, weighed 15,000 pounds, and had a top speed of about Mach 2.5. Its swept-back wing configuration made it look like a jet, albeit one sitting on its tail.
