Painted metal model on wood base, [Micro West], mid-1980s, wingspan 5 inches, fuselage 20 1/2 inches, 8 1/2 inches tall, plaque on base reads: "du Pont Aerospace."
The National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) was a U.S. project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner, which would eventually lead to two-hour flights from Washington to Tokyo.
This intriguing model was produced for Dupont Aerospace shortly after the secret DARPA program codenamed "Copper Canyon" was declassified revealing that the baseline design it had developed—and would eventually be continued by Rockwell for the X-30.
